I've got a old version of the software from around 2014 running on a Raspberry Pi. I treid to use the "begins with" wildcard on strings, but, it appears that I did not do it correctly. All calls are now rejected. For example, I tried something like this:
^"some string"
I substituted the string I got from the log when I wanted to reject a call. Can someone give me an exaple of how to reject calls using the "begins with" wildcad for strings?

You should have provided the version of ncidd using the command:
If you use double quotes, the ncidd server expects them to enclose the entire expression. You should use "^some string".
Two examples to blacklist an area code, one with quotes and one without:
A ^1? at the beginning makes a leading 1 optional.

John,
Thanks for the reply. For the record, it is version 1.0. After posting, I had a sense that my format was incorrect. I'll try what you suggested.
