<solved> help with BLACKLIST() function

Asterisk Asterisk Support
1

I am trying to block inbound calls from certain number, telemarketing and so. But it doesn’t work.

I am running asterisk 1.8 it seems does not check blacklist with astdb.

Thanks.

exten => s,1,GotoIf(${BLACKLIST()}?blacklisted)
exten => s,n,Dial(SIP/123)
exten => s,n(blacklisted),Hangup()

2

The colon fails at the end of the GotoIf

3

No colon is required.

Normally one would need to use an expression context ( $[…]), but if the string is 0 or 1, I suppose it might work without that.

4

Strange, the book I’m using explicitly says that the colon is mandatory, but online documentation (voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+cmd+GotoIf) and my own tests say different.

I’ll ask my money back :smile:

I got it working :smiley:
