Blacklist and Whitelist

If you need to disable some receivers to get messages you can create a blacklist file.

This is a simple text file that contains the phone numbers of the receivers that you want to disable. You can add comments that start with an # character.

Example:

Important note:
When you send a message, the destination number may be either in international format or in any format starting with an s. When somebody shall not receive messages, then you need to do either

• Disallow all short numbers
• Blacklist regular international format and blacklist any alternative number formats. Start the alternative formats with an s.

Whitelist

If you need to enable only a specified list of receivers, then you can create a whitelist file. Normally you do not have a whitelist - everybody can receive SM except those who are in the blacklist. If a recipient phone number is in both files it will not get a SM. The blacklist is more important.

Example:

With the smsd version >= 3.1 whitelist can also specify a queue to be used.
This overrides automatic number based selection and can be overridden by the queue setting in the message file.

Example:

Note: You can edit these files without restarting the program.

With the smsd version >= 3.1 you can also make a provider sorting using SQL tables, because message headers are read after the checkhandler is processed.
