make sure that your a extension is recognized by asterisk.. do a dialplan show
of your context.. below is an example of mine where the 'a' extension shows..
I looked through the source code of 11.20 and didnt see nay config options that
need set to enable it.. be sure you did a dialplan reload after you make
changes to your contexts (or are you running realtime?)

Tim,
For testing you might try also adding the 'd' option to VoiceMail()
--
d - Accept digits for a new extension in context c, if played during the
greeting. Context defaults to the current context.
--
try "1" first then "*" .
https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/Application_VoiceMail
>From reading the docs I'm not sure if
--
* - Jump to the 'a' extension in the current dialplan context.
--
works while playing the greeting.
