In my Asterisk 1.2.9.1 installation I use the following:
in voicemail.conf include the following:
exitcontext=vmlogin
operator=yes
in extensions.conf create a matching context that users are dropped in when
they dial * or 0 in voicemail:
[vmlogin]
exten => a,1,VoicemailMain(2000) ; Prompt to login and check VM
exten => a,2,Hangup
exten => o,1,Wait,1
exten => o,2,Authenticate(1234) ; Authorized access to internal
receptionist
exten => o,3,Dial(${PHONE2},90)
exten => o,4,Hangup
exten => i,1,Hangup
exten => t,1,Hangup
exten => h,1,Hangup

Is that only available in 1.4? 'exitcontext' does not exist anywhere in my
default 1.2.x voicemail.conf file.

Alternativly you can use the "exitcontext" parameter in the
voicemail.conf
to define a separate context in your extensions.conf where
the "o" or "a"
extensions are handled.

Grrrr. It's a fussy bastard. I took what I finally got
working in a simple
test scenario and tried to apply that to production and it
ain't working.
