[asterisk-users] Junk faxes

[Colin Anderson]

Unfortunately a lot of people don't bother to set TSI and have blocked
Caller ID on their fax line so you would get false positives if you filtered
out those faxes. I just did a HylaFAX install last week where the enduser
was extremely pleased about the fax-to-email - when a junk fax came in
(about 30% of their faxes!) she just deleted it from Outlook. She felt
totally empowered.

Hey everybody,

I wanted to know what other may be doing to stem the flood of inbound 
junk faxes?

We currently using Asterisk/iaxmodem/Hylafax for fax services and get a 
number of junk faxes daily.  Most (If not all) of them have caller-id 
blocked and have a TSI of "".  I was hoping that, since we are using a 
PRI, there would be other information coming across that I could use to 
identify these spammers.  Any suggestion would be appreciated.

Doug
