asterisk users - Aug 2016 - Blacklist callers from file

Hi. I would like to blacklist a few callers and I have been using the *CLI>
database put blacklist 1234 "annoying callers". Instead of putting the
same command for every user is there any way to have a file? Ideally a file in
/opt that I would update the blacklisted numbers (add,remove). Is there anything
like that, please?<br>

If you are happy with the way blacklisting with the Asterisk database 
works, how about a shell script that loads all of the entries in your 
blacklist file?

Other alternatives involve modifying your dial plan. If you are 
comfortable with that then you can consider alternatives like an AGI that 
reads your text file and sets a channel variable.

If you need more 'immediacy' maybe storing the blacklist in a
'real'
database is more appropriate -- especially if you want the users to 
maintain their own black list via a web page.

to make it.

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"

Example: callers with CallerID 0123456789, 9876543210 and 7410258963 are
sent to tt-monkeys. Callers from area code 555 are also blocked.


In "extensions.conf" file add

#include "blacklist.conf"


In "blacklist.conf" 

exten => s/0123456789,1,playback(tt-monkeys)

exten => s/9876543210,1,playback(tt-monkeys)

exten => s/7410258963,1,playback(tt-monkeys)

exten => s/_555XXXXXXX,1,playback(tt-monkeys)
