[asterisk-users] Block Spam Calls

[Jeff LaCoursiere]

Mind posting your dialplan code?  I was thinking the same thing - very 
much like an old spam control program I used to use whose name now 
escapes me.  First time senders would have to respond to an auto-reply, 
then were added to a whitelist.

This would be a great FreeBSD module...

Cheers,
