Of course an SQL table with the 200K+ ANI's would solve the problem, not so fast as to have the list in memory in Kannel but fast enough to production level I think...
But that's not the point. Reading the user guide, I've come to the conclusion that I could implement a black-list and notify the sender if he or she is included when trying to send us a message. The question is: Is the user guide WRONG? If so, it should be fixed isn't it? At least the "special group black-list" paragraph should be removed. If not, what am I doing wrong?
