either DBget()[if you have mysql support set up in asterisk] or a simple perl AGI script could do the DB search and either play the message itself or change the extension to a default "DNC number" recording. There are dozens of Perl AGI examples out there on the web that do MySQL lookups, and I have several if you want me to send one to you. But keep in mind the National DNC list is over 60 million records, so it DOES NOT take up a trivial amount of space or resources every time you do a search through it. How many outbound calls does your customer place every day?

We have a customer that will be getting their own Asterisk server from us, and they want it to be check outbound numbers against the do not call list; this is for a backup, in case there's a slip up and one of their people try to dial somebody on the do not call list. The list has millions of numbers, and I don't think the extensions.conf file could handle me listing all million+ phone numbers and making it play a sound like "That number is on the do not call list", and then creating a _NXXNXXNXXX extension at the very bottom. The list would take up all it's memory. Anybody have a more elegant solution? Maybe an AGI script to match the outbound phone number against a column in a table in a MySQL database? Is there something similar already written that I can just modify? I know one of our T1 PRI Providers support this feature, but I don't want to block the list from all of our customers, just this one customer. Maybe they can do source+destination based blocking. I'd still prefer it be done through Asterisk.
