[Asterisk-Dev] VoIP SPAM, what's next ?

[Soren Rathje]

Gang,

Do anyone have a clue on how they do this ??

"QOVIA FILES PATENTS FOR VOICE SPAM BLOCKING TECHNOLOGY"

"Qovia ready to take on VoIP spam"

Next thing will probably be a sbl.e164.org service to block spammers like we do with email... :-)

Hmm.. Imagine a built-in reporting tool in Asterisk. Hit **666**# and Asterisk will report the IP address of the caller (and possibly also the CID but it can be forged as we all know) on-line and in real-time to a SBL list for immediate blocking and further processing... 

Any takers ??
