The voicemail.conf file configures the automatic answering machine and manage the voicemail boxes of the users
The file voicemail.conf is also made up of sections or contexts between brackets [ ]

An easy example could be:

paris=Europe/Paris|'vm-received' Q 'digits/at' R
sthlm=Europe/Stockholm|'vm-recieved' Q 'digits/at' R

central=America/Chicago|'vm-received' Q 'digits/at' IMp
central24=America/Chicago|'vm-received' q 'digits/at' H 'digits/hundred' M 'hours'
The format is:
zone=Country/City|Options--> The country and city must be valid and must be defined in /usr/share/zoneinfo of Linux installation

other contexts[]
In the rest of contexts the user mailboxes are defined. We can have all the users in a single context for example [ default ] or have more contexts.
The basic format is the following one:
[default]
extension => password, username, email, alerting email, options
Extension is the number called.
- "password" is the personal password of each user
- "username" is the way the user is named
- "email" is the email where the messages will be sent
- "alerting email" is an alternative email where the notifications for administration or control can be sent
- Options overwrites the [general] context options or puts the user time zone. There are 9 specific ones: attach, serveremail, tz, saycid, review, operator, callback, dialout and exitcontext. They are the sames of [general] context Only tz is new .It is used to overwrite the zone and must be present in the[zonemessages] context
Examples:
[default]
1234 => 3456,Example1,mail@domain.com
4200 => 9855,Peter Smith,peter@domain.com,admin@domain.com,attach=no|serveremail=info@dominio.com|tz=madrid
4069 => 6522,john,j@dominio.net,,attach=yes|saycid=yes|dialout=fromvm|callback=fromvm|review=yes|operator=yes|envelope=yes
