How about starting your macro with SetVar(DialedExten=${MACRO_EXTEN})
and then going into voicemail with VoiceMail(u${DialedExten})
Well, I tried setting variables and saving them through the context change, but the variable (DialedExten in your example) had no value in the Dial(Local/...) call. The recursion messes all that up.
I did find the solution, though, and that is when in the Macro context and ready to go to voice mail, I check to see if the CHANNEL is a loopback (${CHANNEL}:0:5 = Local) and if so, I do a SoftHangup(). That causes the Local channel to close down and actually return control to the initial Macro context, where I can deal with the call just as I wanted.
Thanks for your suggestion!

I am configuring call forwarding in our * setup, but I am having trouble triggering the correct voicemail call.
When I have an extension, e.g. 201, forwarded to another, e.g. 202, my macro will call: Dial(Local/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/n,30)
and once into the internal context, the macro is called again but with MACRO_EXTEN set to 202 rather than 201. So the context flow of control will "do it's thing" against 202. What I want, though, is to return from that macro differently when the Dial() was called against Local rather than my internal extensions. Then, have that Dial(Local/...) return with the priority set to either n+1 or n+101 so that I can handle the flow into VM based on that original extension.
I'm thinking that CHANNEL, MACRO-PRIORITY, and MACRO_OFFSET might be helpful for a return from the subsequent call to the macro, but I need to get information passed back through the Dial(Local/...) call so that I can know what happened with the dial to the forward target.
I would be satisfied if I can get the return from Dial(Local/...) even if I cannot differentiate a busy vs. timeout condition.
Most of the forwarding examples I've found are missing parts of the config file and/or do not seem to work quite right.
Thank you! -Michael
