[cisco-voip] Broadcast voicemail

[Ed Leatherman]

Never heard of MWI throttling, I'll look it up. Last time we did a big
mailing to all subscribers I just posted it in the evening the day before, I
was concerned that all the MWI requests would start delaying other MWI
operations, which our users seem to be very sensitive to. But then when they
came the next day the voicemail system got slammed with higher than normal
traffic. some sort of throttling might help.

You're right, I was thinking of re-synch actually. Does Unity treat the
re-synch operation seperately than if it just had like 1500 lights to turn
on though?
