[Asterisk-Users] Voicemail() problems - Long pause after incoming message recording ended.

I'm having the following problem:

I call into my Asterisk box (RedHat Linux 9.0, 1 Digium X100P card) 
to access voicemail. After dialing the appropriate extension I get 
voicemail, am presented with the user's unavailable message, and can 
leave a message normally.

The problem comes when I press "#" to end the recording, at which 
point I am told "Your message has been saved." Then there is a long 
lag of about 20 seconds of silence, during which Asterisk does not 
respond to DTMF at all, before I am finally dropped back into the 
priority list for the extension, which in this case is a simple 
"Goodbye" <hangup.>

Any idea why this long lag after message-recording termination is 
happening? I'd like Asterisk to hang up immediately after the 
incoming caller terminates their VM recording.

Thanks,

Sam

Check your mail settings, also whether your DNS is working fast. This is
all probably due to the time to get the vm out the app and into the
mail.

[Asterisk-Users] Voicemail() problems - Long pause after incoming message recording ended.

I had this issue until I fixed the DNS resolver on the * box.
Asterisk was attempting to deliver the mail message and having to
timeout name servers, etc.  Once dns was setup properly for the box, the
message was delivered instantly and there was no more delay.

Now a good fix would be the spawn a separate thread to deliver the
message, but that was beyond my programming skill.
