#27 Option to always prepend the three characters ^1? when creating a new alias

[Todd Andrews]

Originally requested by user nospam in the discussion thread Add Alias question

Is it possible to specify the three character string ^1? be added automatically when adding an alias?

If not I'd like to make that a feature request for future releases.

Cheers!.

The ^1? expression says the leading 1 may or may not be present. This is what the ignore1 server does. Just enable the ignore1 option and ^1? is not needed anymore.

Beaware that ^1? expression and the ignore1 option are only effective on US numbers.

There is an ignore1 option that can be set in the ncidd.conf file to act as though ^1? was on the front for all comparisons. Our documentation says it works for alias, whitelist and blacklist, but it is currently only working for alias comparisons.
It's more of a bug fix, I will add it to the black and white list comparisons for NCID 1.10.

I think I miscounted the release numbers. The ignore1 option has been added to whitelist/blacklist comparisons for the coming 1.11 release.
