As far as I know, Asterisk's database/blacklist function only supports
exact match of caller ID.
If you want to block a specific area code or a block of numbers (eg.
321-654-8XXX) the blacklist function is useless.
Correct me if I'm wrong.
Frank

Indeed, too much for me too...
exten => s,n,GotoIf(${DB_EXISTS(blacklist/${CDR(src)})}?block) ; Check whether caller blacklisted
[snip additional logging]
exten => s,n,Dial(SIP/phones,30)
exten => s,n,Voicemail(x@work,su)
exten => s,n,Hangup()
exten => s,n(block),GoSub(Handler-MarketingCall,s,1) ; deal with blacklisted callers
[snip]
This is linked to couple of simple routines that allow me to add the current (##666) or last caller (*32) to the blacklist or manually input any other number (*30).

The purpose of a subroutine (code that is entered by a gosub and exited by a return) is to allow the creation of easily reusable code. It 'packages' complex or frequently used code into a nice little black box. You don't need to know all the details of what happens in the box and you can use this little box throughout your code without having to tell it where to continue when it has finished -- it just 'knows' by virtue of it's implementation. A 'gosub' is implemented (in most languages) by pushing the address of the instruction following the gosub onto the stack. When the return is executed, this address is popped off the stack and loaded into the program counter. Using a 'goto' to exit from a subroutine does not 'pop' off the return address. If this cycle of pushing addresses and not popping off addresses is repeated enough, you may run out of stack space. Think how complex and difficult to maintain your dialplan would be if you had to tell each application (dial(), playback(), set(), etc) where to go when it was finished. Even worse, imagine if each application had a fixed "I'm finished" address (priority or label). Most programmers consider 'goto' to be 'evil' because it allows (encourages?) lazy design leading to difficult to maintain/reuse code. (Google 'why is goto bad'.) Some languages do not even include a 'goto' by design to encourage programmers to write better code. A better idea would be to set a channel variable and check it's value after the return, in the calling context. The idea is to update the blacklist.conf whenever I want to add or remove a specific number or an entire area code and leave the extensions.conf untouched and to avoid complex regular expressions. The idea is fine. The implementation is flawed. It should be implemented as a subroutine (or AGI) and return the success or failure as a channel variable. This will result in an 'easier to comprehend' and more maintainable dialplan. This 'design pattern' (a subroutine) would allow you to reuse this same 'black box' in other parts of your dialplan. Think of 'the next guy' -- which may be you in a couple of months when the 'finer details' of your implementation fade. If you jump all around your dialplan it gets very hard to comprehend. If you can see that you execute a little black box and then do something based on an intuitively named channel variable the design and intent is obvious. Well... I'm not an expert and my approach is by "trial and error". It works perfectly. :-) A 'better' approach is to learn from the mistakes of others. I suspect it 'works perfectly' until it's been running long enough to cause difficult to diagnose problems. -- Thanks in advance, - Steve Edwards sedwa...@sedwards.com Voice: +1-760-468-3867 PST https://www.linkedin.com/in/steve-edwards-4244281 -- _ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?

You missed that you were jumping past the second and subsequent tests, if the
first one failed. But that's already been pointed out.
But why not call an AGI script, have this check the caller ID against a MySQL
database and return a status -- blocked or not -- in a variable? Then you can
manage individual number blocking in a much cleaner, more extensible fashion.
Feel free to ignore me if it sounds like I'm suggesting you walk all the way
to the tool shed to fetch a chisel, when you know the screwdriver in your
drawer is already up to the job :)

0) You should use 'verbose()' instead of 'noop()'
1) If the caller ID matches '+493456789' (the first one), you goto the
'hangup' label. If it does not match, you goto the 'nohangup' label --
skipping the subsequent tests.
2) Please show the CLI output from 'dialplan show callthrough'
3) Please show the CLI output from a call matching the first test and from
a call matching the second test.
