asterisk users - May 2006 - How to detect call forwarding to voicemail

Hi,
 Is there anyway in Asterisk to know that outgoing call has been forwarded
to voicemail by the callee system?

Some of my users don't want to connect the call if its forwarded to callee
voicemail, so I am wondering if theres anyway to identify this in Asterisk
and drop the call.

Thanks
Nitin

Your first question should be "Can the telco inform the calling 
equipment that the call has been forwarded to voicemail?"  As far as I 
know, the answer to that is "no".
