[asterisk-users] RFE idea for VM application

[Phil Daws]

This is in version 1.8 and 10.0 from what I can see. The problem is not that the caller is unaware of the recipients mailbox being full, as they do hear the message, but it is the recipient whom may be completely unaware. If a more verbose warning message was written out we could at least alert the user to the issue. They could then perform some timely and necessary mailbox clean up:)
