Re: [hylafax-users] Block incoming faxes to certain numbers

[Adam Engel <adamengel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I tried out using DynamicConfigs  RejectCall option but it doesn't seem 
to work

Here is the line I have in my config.inbound file. (all our inbound line 
configs are symlinked to this file)

DynamicConfig           etc/RejectCalls


Here is the contents of my etc/RejectCalls file

#!/bin/sh

DEVICE=$1; shift;
COUNT=1

while [ $# -ge 1 ]; do
       eval CALLID$COUNT='$1'
       shift
       COUNT=`expr $COUNT + 1`
done

# reject calls to numbers we dont have configured

case $CALLID1 in
       4405551234) echo "RejectCall: true";;
esac


I even tried changing it to $CALLID2 and trying to reference the last 4 
digits, but the calls were still not rejected.  I followed 
http://www.hylafax.org/content/Handbook:Advanced_Server_Configuration:Per-call_Dynamic_Configuration 
as well.  I did restart hylafax when i edited the config.inbound file.

My FaxDispatch file does contain   *) queue=MISCELLANEOUS;;  in its case 
statement, but my understanding was that config.inbound handled the 
calls before anything else.

Thoughts on what I may have done wrong?
