Indeed, explicit curly braces could be good for new comers especially,
as we noticed some mistakes reported to mailing list in the past when
added action was thought to be in an IF block, but lack of curly braces
made it outsides.

> :: is_method() checks in route[RELAY] - These need looking at. I had some issues with certain inbound messages (e.g. INFO) sending replies with unmodified contact headers. This caused the downstream SIP server to send future packets to the private address and not the public address. Not sure if this is incorrect behaviour on the part of the downstream or not. Either way, INFO certainly needs including.
OK, note taken.

There are some options that need to be set to get voicemail routing
activated. Or are you referring to something else?

Cheers,

Have in mind that there are the basic and advanced versions of kamailio.cfg in the etc folder. Also, I am looking for tunings for core parameters and module parameters that make the config more suitable for common use case.
