from the wiki :

The way it works is basically any time that somebody leaves a
voicemail on the system (regardless of mailbox number), the command
specified for externnotify is run with the arguments (in this order):
context, extension, and number of voicemails in that mailbox. These
arguments are passed to the program that you set in the externnotify
variable.

So, you could check in your script what extension the voicemail was
left on (second argument) and only if it is the mailbox you want to be
notified of, you create that call file.

In a call file you can specify how many retry
