[asterisk-users] Do Not Call List

[Dean Collins]

Thanks for looking into this further Kevin.
I guess this knocks a 'formal' asterisk asp sharing agreement on the head.

I can understand why they have done this but also sucks for people installing asterisk using this.

At least the formal data sets are documented so a module for lookup prior to calling can be checked against.

I haven't checked as this isn't my space but I guess anyone offering predictive dialers to asterisk is already building this into their product offerings (or coding as we speak).

 
Cheers,
 
Dean
