You can have voicemail disconnect after a predetermined amount of silence in voicemail.conf.
maxsilence=5
silencethreshold=128

  Hi all,

  I have an issue with my system and the phone company (Alltel).  If someone goes into any mailbox on the server to leave a message, once they hang up on their side the system is not detecting this and will sit there and record until you get the standard message from the phone company "If you'd like to make a call, please hangup and try again", which is preceded by the fast busy tone.

  Since I never had this problem with any of my equipment in another state, I feel it's either the wiring in the building OR it is a problem in the phone companies equipment.

  Any hints or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  As a side note I've tried this with a simply answering machine and it acts the same way.  

  Thanks,
  Ken
