[asterisk-dev] forking calls from friends

[Bro]

Ok thanks for the suggestion, I think I have a more generalized working 
solution I can submit. Thanks.

keep an eye forward for other options such as grey listing. Maybe you 
could change lookupblacklist to just >lookuplist(blacklist), 
lookuplist(friend), lookuplist(questionable). My opinion on this is that 
you then have made asterisk much more flexable than by adding such a

lookuplist(blacklist) would be acceptable provided you have sent in your
