asterisk users - Nov 2009 - Questions about Voicemail

I am sorry if this is not the correct place to post a question.



I am wondering if there is way in asterisk 1.2 to:



1.       Send a voicemail (from the phone) to multiple recipients.

2.       Require (as an admin) for users 1st logging into their voicemail to
change their greeting and/or password.



Thanks

Yes I believe so.

1. The voicemail app allows delivery to multiple destinations at once:

 - example :

exten => 100,1,VoiceMail(u101&102&103)

2. Create an e-mail alias/list and deliver the voicemail via e-mail to
that alias.

There is a user option forcegreetings:

forcegreetings = [yes|no]
        
        Sets whether the user will be forced to record a new greeting
        when logging in to the system for the first time. Default: no
        
        Example:
        
        forcegreetings = no 
        

Not sure about the forced change PIN, but it should be easy enough to
write a little command wrapper around it and prompt for PIN via the
dialplan.

Regarding the email to multiple receipients, it is available on an ad-hoc
basis from the phone?

IE; call into the voicemail system, enter x digit to send a voicemail to
multiple users, record the message, then enter the destination mailboxes,
separated by  # sign...
