We’re using SMS Connector on FreePBX 17, for Flowroute. Is there a way to block (or discard messages from) specific SMS senders? We get a number of spam messages and one of our recipients finds some of them particularly disturbing. We access received messages on Yealink desk phones. Flowroute doesn’t seem to allow blocking (or discarding messages from) specific SMS senders, and it doesn’t seem to be something I could do on the Yealink phones.
Any suggestions?
@billsimon I’m tagging you, hoping you see this. Please let me know if I should go about this a different (or additional) way such as a GitHub issue. Thank you!
Sangoma has developed this in a module called SMS Plus that works only with their VI and Sipstation products. Their module is pretty comprehensive and allows the user to do differentiated blocking and control it from UCP and more.
However I see a simple approach to adding this to SMS Connector. If it is sufficient that the PBX admin adds the offending numbers to the Blacklist module, we could add a simple conditional check in the SMS flow to check Blacklist and stop any SMSes that come from those numbers.
