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.
