Tim,
You are going to want to use the Background() app to play the greeting
with the WaitExten() app to wait for a keypress (if they wait til the very
end of the greeting before pressing) and then the Authenticate() app to get
a PIN to proceed to whatever action is permitted. Something like this
(untested but should be close enough)...
[leavemessage]
exten = s,1,NoOp(voicemail)
same = n,Ringing()
same = n,Wait(2)
same = n,Answer()
same = n(start),Set(TIMEOUT(response)=1)
same = n,Set(TIMEOUT(digit)=1)
same = n,Background(record/NoAnswer) ; my custom message, press 1 or wait
to leave a msg
same = n,WaitExten(1)
exten = 1,1,Voicemail(101,us) ; caller pressed 1
same = n,NoOp(Back from voicemail)
same = n,Hangup()
exten = _[*],1,VoiceMailMain(101,sa(0)) ; caller pressed *
same = n,NoOp(Back from voicemailmain)
same = n,Hangup()
exten = t,1,Voicemail(101,us) ; timeout, leave a message. could GoTo(1,1)
same = n,NoOp(Back from voicemail)
same = n,Hangup()
exten = i,1,Playback(pbx-invalid) ; standard invalid key pressed msg.
same = n,Goto(s,start)
exten = h,1,Hangup()
