Description:If I configure a SIP peer to not be allowed to forward voicemail messages (sendvoicemail=no) in my Realtime *Static* scheme, they can do that anyway. The attached logs shows my voicemail.conf table with the 2 peers involved and the actual log output from CLI with full debug etc.

Both sendvoicemail parameters from the general context and from the peer context have been set to "no".
I cannot easily change my layout to test it using plain text files, but if there are anything more possible to test, please let me know.

****** ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ******

I have tested it on the 1.4.0 release and now in trunk (checkout made on 20070206).

A lonely ping just in case someone can read it, a peer review would be nice...

ok, I did some looking at the code; sendvoicemail is not doing what you think. It controls whether or not a user is allowed to send a voicemail from within mailbox's advanced options, not message's. There appears to be no option to control whether a user is allowed to forward the message or not. Adding this option qualifies as a "feature request"

I propose changing the verbage of voicemail.conf.sample within the scale of this issue, taking care of 'dialout' while we are at it:

; dialout=fromvm ; Context to dial out from [option 4 from mailbox's advanced menu]. If not specified, option 4 will not be listed and dialing out from within VoiceMailMain() will not be permitted.
sendvoicemail=yes ; Allow the user to compose and send a voicemail while inside VoiceMailMain() [option 5 from mailbox's advanced menu]. If set to 'no', option 5 will not be listed.

Sounds good for me, thanks for clarifying this serge-v.
