General Delivery Mailbox
A special mailbox that is maintained by the Message Manager. If a caller does not have a DTMF- compatible telephone, the caller cannot dial numbers in order to connect himself or herself to an extension or mailbox. Callers who do not dial any numbers can be directed to the General Delivery Mailbox.
Periodically (daily is best), the Message Manager should transfer messages in the General Delivery Mailbox to the appropriate subscriber mailboxes.
