Re: [asterisk-users] VoiceMail - Allow * for only some users
Hi John,
Ah ha! Excellent. That works.
Now for a further tweak, in my stdexten I set voicemail_option with
with b or u, as appropriate and use ${voicemail_option) instead of
option in the call to Voicemail below so the correct prompt is used.
Thank you!

Re: [asterisk-users] VoiceMail - Allow * for only some users
I think you almost have it.
In your vmfwd context have a wildcard match that sends the caller back to
the originating voicemail and then define specific extensions that are
allowed to forward.
[vmfwd]
exten => _,1,Voicemail(box@context,option)
same => n,Hangup
; Andrew Ruthven
exten => 7231,1,Set(CALLERID(number)=yyy)
same => n,Goto(pstn,xxx,1)
