[on-asterisk] Block list of numbers

[Liviu Toma]

Hello,

Is there a way to have Asterisk look up the caller ID of incoming
calls in a text file and reject the call if it matches ?
Currently I have a long list of something like:
exten => s,n,GotoIf($["${CALLERID(number)}" = "4165551234"]?1234,1)
where extenson 1234 rejects the call, but obviously is not very practical.

Thanks,
Liviu

Why don't you use a simple script (I use a PHP one, but you can use almost any language)?

It's funny. When I was learning asterisk in the pre 1.0 days, I remember
one of the sample apps out there was an app that I guy wrote to hang up on
his ex-girlfriend who was stalking him. Blacklist has been around for a
while in various forms. :-)

Maybe this will help:

I've also seen things out there that allow you to dial an extension and add
the last caller's number to the blacklist.

http://pbxinaflash.com/ (obviously with freepbx) can add the last
callers number to the blacklist...by dialling a feature key code

Thanks everyone ! I think the LookupBlacklist is just what I was looking
for, but I think I will also try the suggestions about calling an external
script (at least for the sake of learning).
