#20 Need help with blacklist

[Dan Essin]

Hello,
I'm getting a lot of robocalls from different numbers that all have the same carrier such as:
CID: DATE08132022TIME1209LINEPOTSNMBR6268294720MESGNONEFNMBR626-829-4720NTYPEFIX/CELLCTRYUSLOCACaliforniaCARIONVOY, LLC - CANAMEARCADIA CA*

I can't determine from the docs how to add an item to the blacklist that will block all "ONVOY, LLC - CA", for example.

Is there a way to do this?

Thank you,
Dan

The processing of the blacklist only applies to the name and nmbr fields.
To catch something in the CARI (carrier) field, you will need to add a hangup extension by creating one or modifying an existing one like hangup-fakenum.
The operation and setup is described in the User Manual, but you'll have to do some programming.

Thanks. Is there an example somewhere?

You will find some extensions already installed in /usr/share/ncid/extensions, as well as an empty prototype.

Instructions can be found in this section of the User Manual
