<font size=2 face="sans-serif">Depending on exactly what you want, those
may be the right settings. What the warning is telling you is that with
those settings, someone could reach voicemail, say nothing (silence on
the line) and after 10 seconds it will hang up on them and deliver a 10
second silent message to their voicemail box. If you set maxsilence to
something like 2 seconds, then it would hang up after 2 seconds and no
message would be delivered. </font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">The only risk you run by ignoring the
warning is that some users *WILL* get voicemails delivered that have no
real audio, but simply be silent. If you can live with that, you settings
will work fine.</font>

<br><tt><font size=2>What I'm trying to achieve is that a voicemail message
should be at<br>
least 3 seconds long for it to be saved, but *after that* a prolonged<br>
silence (e.g. 10 seconds) should terminate the call and recording.<br>
<br>
My current settings (Asterisk 10.7.0 and 11.2.1) are:<br>
<br>
; Minimum length of a voicemail message in seconds for the message
to be kept<br>
; The default is no minimum.<br>
minsecs=3<br>
<br>
; How many seconds of silence before we end the recording<br>
maxsilence=10<br>
<br>
With these settings, I'm getting the following warning message.<br>
<br>
WARNING[21671] app_voicemail.c: maxsilence should be less
than<br>
minsecs or you may get empty messages<br>
<br>
What are the "right" settings for this situation?<br>
<br>
Thanks all!<br>
