Forward to VM after hunting "failed"

Hi everybody!
After struggling for days now and finally finding the solution on coincidence (page 133, Cisco IP Communication Express - the big fat book) I wanted to share my problem.
Here is the situation:
Calls arriving from the PSTN will be caught by a hunt-pilot who will then try to reach 4 extensions (4 employees) before it will "final out" to VM (a propper configured GDM with it's own ext and bla bla bla). It failed! Guess why! I couldn't believe it! Check your telephony-service settings, in particular the max-redirect variable. in my case it was set to 5 - 1 (ONE) less than needed ;-(
When a call arrives from the PSTN it will be transferred the first time to the hunt-pilot, the pilot tries (sequentially) to reach 4 extensions (how many redirects do we have by this point?! right!), and finally fails to forward it to VM because there are no redirects left! Remember RIP?! 15 hops....
I hope this will help everyone who was in a similar situation - and what I have read so far - there where quite a lot - with all kind of solutions but no one mentioned max-redirect...
Kind regards
