[asterisk-users] Adding Voicemail to My System

[Steve Matzura]

I'm setting up voicemail on my answering-machine project.


Since the directory for voicemail messages for an extension doesn't 
exist until there's a message to be saved therein, how can I create a 
custom greeting since it goes in that directory? That's what it sounds 
like the book is telling me anyway.


Also, how do I tell the Voicemail() application to play a custom 
greeting? I don't mean one I can create with VoicemailMain; I mean to 
play a prepared file, or possibly have no greeting at all, with the 
greeting message actually being contained in the message played in the 
Play() application. It doesn't matter which way I do it, I'm just trying 
to figure out how to do one or the other, whichever is the right way.



And one more, if I don't want voicemail messages to be sent out by 
email, how do I suppress this? It seems that the default is to send the 
email, but there's no option I could found that lets me say no, don't send.
