Specifying Blocklist

The Blocklist contains phone numbers, IP addresses, and hostnames which have been identified and verified to be invloved in fraudulent activity.

Using the Configuration menu option, you can:

  • Enable and disable the Blocklist feature for specific data types such as phone numbers, hostnames, usernames or user-agent headers.
  • Configure the Expiry Timer Value. For more information, see Configuring the Expiry Timer

The Blocklist information provided by Oracle is in the international format. You can append a prefix to international numbers or provide a regular expression to transform the number.

Using the Custom Blocklist menu, you can add, edit, delete, and exempt individual entries.

Note:

Exempting a subscriber entry removes the user from the global Blocklist. But it can still acuumulate points from other rules. Exempted users are shown in a seperate list in the main Blocklist page.

Adding a Custom Blocklist User

    For example, if you have selected, from-phone-number for the Type, then the Match Value must be a valid phone number.

  5. In the Comment field, enter any additional information for the user.

  6. Select the Never Expire option to make the expiry timer to be set to Never for this subscriber entry. Expiry timer value set in the Configuration page will be overwritten for this user.
