voicemail.conf
The voicemail.conf file controls the Asterisk
voicemail system (called Comedian Mail). It consists of three main
sections. The first, called [general], sets the general system-wide
settings for the voicemail system. The second, called [zonemessages], allows you to configure
different voicemail zones, which are a collection of time and time zone
settings. The third and final section is where you create one or more
groups of voicemail boxes, each containing the mailbox
definitions.
