Re: [asterisk-users] Blacklist callers from file
Hi Kevin, Looks like your gmail did the same thing mine did, took the conversation off-list (unless you meant to do that). If as you mention you're running a mix of POTS and SIP, I'd recommend sticking with the transfer call method (set the hook/trigger in the features.conf file). That way if anyone picks up ANY phone in your house they have a consistent procedure for dealing with those calls. It will add to the confidence of your users and will score points with wife not having to learn and remember several procedures - a label with the hint would go a long way here. That's what I'll be doing for my aging parents, who feel helpless to the effect of the bothersome calls, and don't want a complicated solution to the issue. -Tim -- _ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- Join the Asterisk Community at the 13th AstriCon, September 27-29, 2016 http://www.asterisk.org/community/astricon-user-conference New to Asterisk?

Re: [asterisk-users] Blacklist callers from file
Sorry, Gmail took my conversation with John off-list somehow, I'll repost
what I had set here (sorry, it's going to be a bit big now), and I will be
more careful in the future:
First part:
I'm using Grandstream phones, so I have XML soft-keys, what hardware do you
have and how good are you with dialplans? You'll have to do some re-work
unless you have an exact match for my setup. I'm doing my best to give you
the functional code, I have to change a bunch of stuff to not leak the
security things I do in my code and some of the way more involved stuff I
do. this should at least get you running I think. Portions between "CODE:
/CODE" tags are the functional dialplan code, I tried to comment a lot
here to explain what's happening, but I may have broken something in the
process. Also, be aware that I generate custom sound files, so if you try
to run the code and it throws an error about sound-file does not exists,
that's why.
For this, I am using the internal DB in Asterisk (https://wiki.asterisk.org/
wiki/display/AST/Asterisk+Internal+Database).
The first part is easy, but also very important - filter your Caller-ID
data (in computers, we NEVER trust data from a source we don't generate),
CODE:
[incommingcall]
exten => 1551234,1,Set(CalledNumber=${1551234}) ;
Primary incoming phone line, number changed to protect my phone number
same => Set(CallEventTime=${STRFTIME(${EPOCH},,%m-%d-%Y_%H.%M.%S)}
same => n,Set(CALLERID(name)=${FILTER(A-Z0-9\s,${CALLERID(name)})})
same => n,Set(CALLERID(num)=${FILTER(0-9,${CALLERID(num)})})
same => n,Verbose(Incomming call to main phone number)
same => n,Goto(IVR-Menu,IVRStart,1)
/CODE - Then you hit phone numbers that don't have caller ID with the
special three-tone application that sounds like a phone company message,
CODE:
[IVR-Menu]
exten => IVRStart,1,Zapateller(nocallerid) ; Before
answering we do the sound for no-caller ID calls
same => n,Zapateller(answer,nocallerid); This is where
the phone call gets answered, we hit no-caller ID calls again here
same => n,Wait(1)
same => n,Playback(call-recording-warning) ; Legally required
message: "For quality control purposes, this call may be monitored."
same => n,Wait(2)
same =>
n,Monitor(wav,Inbound_to_${CalledNumber}_from_${CALLERID(num)}_${CallEventTime})
; Yes, I record every call in an out.
same => n,GotoIf($["${CalledNumber}" != "1551234"]?BlacklistFilter) ;
Number changed to protect my toll-free costs!!!
/CODE - I had a problem with political phone calls to my 855 number this
past spring, so I added this little routine to prompt the caller for a
single random digit to be entered to prove they could interact, that
stopped all the calls from getting through. CODE:
; special human test for toll-free
same => n,Set(TOLLFREERAND=${RAND(0,9)})
same => n,Read(HUMANTEST,thank-you&human-test&${TOLLFREERAND}&now,1,,1,5)
; Says "Thank you. If you're a human, please press the number: {RANDOM},
now.", like a captcha.
same => n,GotoIf($["${HUMANTEST}" = "${TOLLFREERAND}"]?BlacklistFilter) ;
If the random number matches what they entered they move on in the dialplan
same => n,Playback(do-not-call-warning)
; I have a message that states when this number was added to the FTC
do-not-call list,
; requests removal of the number from the current list, and warns that the
call and information was recorded
; and will be turned over to the FTC if the calls continue.
same => n,Hangup() ; Yes, if a human can't be bothered to press one button
when calling a number I pay the minutes for, I won't be bothered to talk to
them.
/CODE - now we can get into the stuff that handles the blacklists and
telemarketers. CODE:
; return to regular program
same => n(BlacklistFilter), Verbose(Checking caller ID against blacklist)
same => n,GotoIf($[DB_EXISTS(blacklist\${CALLERID(num)})]?:TelemarketerFilter)
; If the caller ID is not in the blacklist DB family, it goes to the
telemarketer check
same => n,VoiceMail(Blacklist@OtherAccounts,s)
same => n,Hangup()
same => n(TelemarketerFilter), Verbose(Checking caller ID against
telemarketer list)
same =>
n,GotoIf($[DB_EXISTS(telemarketer\${CALLERID(num)})]?:IVRInteractiveStart)
; If the caller ID is not in the blacklist DB family, it goes to the
telemarketer check
same => n,VoiceMail(Telemarketer@OtherAccounts,s)
same => n,Hangup()
/CODE: Then if the caller ID is not on either list, they go into the start
of the IVR. Everything up until now takes about 8 seconds, I limit
"appeal" voicemails to 30 seconds by account limit, so that if one managed
to come in through my toll-free number, it wouldn't finish the first minute
of billing. CODE:
same => n(IVRInteractiveStart),Verbose(Dialplan continues here)
;
; ...redacted...
;
same => n,Hangup()
/CODE.
You'll have to tell me more about your phones to know what you are doing
with called user prompts. You can enter the numbers into the DBs manually
from the console using the DB
Re: [asterisk-users] Blacklist callers from file
Here is a quick and dirty bash script to do it that I wrote you.
#!/bin/bash
if ( asterisk -rx "database deltree blacklist")
then
echo "Blacklist Cleared"
else
err "ERROR Failed to clear Blacklist, Exiting."
exit 1;
fi
while IFS=, read TN REASON
do
if ( asterisk -rx "database put blacklist \"${TN}\" \"${REASON}\"")
then
echo "Inserted $TN $REASON to Blacklist"
else
err "ERROR Insert Failed on $TN."
exit 1;
fi
done < blacklist.csv
unset IFS
It reads from the file blacklist.csv in the same directory with the format
of NUMBER,"DESCRIPTION/REASON"

You can pick any language you're comfortable with. Save yourself a lot of frustration and use an existing AGI library. For your needs, your AGI may be as simple as: ) Read the AGI environment if your library does not do it automagically. ) Look for the ANI/caller ID in your text file (or database). ) Either set a channel variable (like AGISTATUS) or set the context/extension/priority. I've written AGIs both ways. I think setting a channel variable makes for more reusable code. -- 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 -- Join the Asterisk Community at the 13th AstriCon, September 27-29, 2016 http://www.asterisk.org/community/astricon-user-conference New to Asterisk?
