[asterisk-users] RFE idea for VM application

[Danny Nicholas]

The RFE was to fix Asterisk, not the user who can't be taught.  If the
recipient can't/won't answer their phone and can't/won't read their email,
they are beyond help.

Ah, but what you have here is a classic "break glass to release hammer" 
situation.  The intended recipient doesn't know that their voicemail box is
full; but, evidently from the fact that they are accruing voicemails at all,
they must, for some unspecified reason, not be contactable by telephone!

All you can do in that situation is mention in your "mailbox full" message
an alternative means of contacting the intended recipient .....
