[asterisk-users] Blacklisting Toll-Free etc.

[Arnaud Ligot]

Hello,

You can generate a file using bash for example which will be included
inside extension.conf.

for example, in bash:

for i1 in `seq -f %02g 0 99`
 do for i2 in `seq -g %06g 0 999999`
	echo 'exten => _N$i1N'$i2'/_888NXXXXXX,n,Playback(GoAway)'
done; done > extension-include.conf
...

you will probably want to reduce the range of number if you don't want a
really really really long file...

an other way would be to execute a macro/agi for each call which will
make your checks.

best regars,

Arnaud.
