[asterisk-users] Voicemail feature: enable or disable the ability to leave a message

[Emrah]

Doug,

Thanks for the suggestion.
I know there are plenty of workarounds there, I am not asking how to do
it because I know how to do it too.
What I am saying is that it could be an embedded feature in the
Voicemail application, like the recent ability to flag a message as
"urgent".

Regards,
Emrah
