I believe that 'externpasscheck' was added in the 1.6 branch. Since we use this, I wrote a quick perl script that checks for password length, difficulty, repeated digits, etc. which are required for us. If you get it back-ported to the version you are on you can have the script, just contact me off-list. This is probably one of the best features added to app_voicemail for 1.6.<br>

As usual my manager comes up with some obscure reference I didn't find. There seems to be a parameter called minpassword described here:<br>

But from further digging it looks like it's a 1.6.1.0 feature. Might see about a backport if possible.<br>

Sounds like a cool feature. I started looking into it, checking out<br>
voicemail.conf (1.2) to get an idea of a good name to call the parameter<br>
and I found this:<br>
<br>
; If you need to have an external program, i.e. /usr/bin/myapp called when<br>
; a voicemail password is changed, uncomment this:<br>
externpass=/usr/bin/myapp<br>
<br>
Who knew?<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance,<br>
