Change minimum voicemail length to less than 3 seconds?

[Tuly]

Hi,
right now when someone leaves a voicemail of less then 3 seconds, the system plays back a message "your recording is below the minimum acceptable length" i would like to change that so the system should accept a voicemail even less then 3 seconds, how can i do that?

This is not configurable. Open a terminal/ssh shell and open the lua script doing the recording:

vi /usr/share/freeswitch/scripts/app/voicemail/resources/functions/record_message.lua

In line 270/271 you will see, what you have to change. You could change it to:
if (message_length > 1) then

I hard coded it because of reports of blank or empty voicemails. People considered it a bug.
