Just saw this on Mitel Connect
Blacklisting or blocking callers based on CallerID
Objective
Block or re-route calls from certain numbers on SIP Trunks.
Create and manage a callerID blacklist.
Environment
MiVoice Business currently has no native support for creating callerID blacklists (as per KMS HT5145).
Customers wishing to manage calls from certain numbers usually rely on the telco implementing a blacklist.
There is a simple method to create a blackilst-type function where calls are presented on SIP Trunks terminating on Mitel Border Gateway.
NOTE: This method ONLY applies to calls presenting a valid CallerID on SIP Trunks which terminate on an MBG.
Procedure
1. In MBG create a 'dummy' ICP in Service Configuration called "BL Dummy" and give it an unused IP address.
2. In the SIP Route config add a new Routing Rule"
Set Match to the relevant header used by the telco to present the CallerID
Set the Rule to the CallerID that should be blacklisted
Set the Primary to "BL Dummy"
Repeat for each CallerID to be blacklisted
3. Ensure ALL the "BL Dummy" rules are moved to the top of the list so that they are always processed ahead of the normal inbound rules.
Incoming calls from the blacklisted numbers will be routed to the dummy ICP by the Routing Rules and caller will get Congestion tone.
If I never did anything I'd never done before , I'd never do anything.....
