Voice messaging is traditionally addressed using telephone number
addressing.  This document describes two techniques for routing
voice messages based on a telephone number.  The complete service
uses the Voice Profile for Internet Mail (VPIM) Directory service to
lookup a VPIM email address with a telephone number and confirm that
the address is both valid and associated with the intended recipient.
However, this service will take time to become widely deployed in the
near term.  This document also describes a basic send-and-pray service
that routes and delivers messages using only the ENUM telephone number
resolution service and the existing DNS mail routing facilities.
