asterisk users - Oct 2007 - Asterisk Voicemail

Hi

I've configured my asterisk and voicemail all works fine but I want to
restrict call time to voicemail that is when user calls voicemail he
can use voicemail system only for a max of 5 min that is after five
minutes asterisk should disconnect the call.

thanks

Arun

Do you mean that you want the maximum message length to be 5 minutes?
If so, you can use "maxmessage" in the general section of
voicemail.conf.  It's set in seconds, so:

[general]
maxmessage=300

Do you mean, when people call VoiceMailMain to _check_ their messages 
they need to be cut off after five minutes?  For this, I'd put an 
absolute timeout before the call to VoiceMailMain. 

I'm using asterisk 1.4, and the following syntax works for me:

; Set absolute timeout to five minutes (300 seconds)
exten => 777,1,Set(TIMEOUT(absolute)=300)
exten => 777,2,VoiceMailMain
