	<title>Overview</title>
	<para>
	The userblacklist module allows &kamailio; to handle blacklists
	on a per user basis. This information is stored in a database
	table, which is queried to decide if the number (more exactly,
	the request URI user) is blacklisted or not.
	</para>
	<para>
	An additional functionality that this module provides is the ability
	to handle global blacklists. This lists are loaded on startup into
	memory, thus providing a better performance then in the userblacklist
	case. This global blacklists are useful to only allow calls to certain 
	international destinations, i.e. block all not whitelisted numbers.
	They could also used to prevent the blacklisting of important	
	numbers, as whitelisting is supported too. This is useful for example
	to prevent the customer from blocking emergency call number or service
	hotlines.
	</para>
	<para>
	The module exports three functions, <emphasis>check_blacklist</emphasis>
	<emphasis>check_user_blacklist</emphasis> and <emphasis>check_user_whitelist</emphasis>
	for usage in the config file. Furthermore its provide a FIFO function to
	reload the global blacklist cache.
	</para>
	<para>
	Please note that only numerical strings for matching are supported at the
	moment (the used library supports this already, but its not yet implemented
	in the module). Non-digits on the beginning of the matched string are skipped,
	any later non-digits will stop the matching on this position.
	</para>

	    <para>
The number of individual characters that are used for matching. 
Valid values are 10 or 128. When you specifiy 10, only digits will be used for matching, 
this operation mode is equivalent to the old behaviour. When configured with 128, 
all standard ascii chars are available for matching. Please be aware that memory 
requirements for storing the routing tree in shared memory will also increase by a factor of 12.8.

		<function moreinfo="none">check_user_blacklist (string user, string domain, string number, string table)</function>
	    </title>
	    <para>
		Finds the longest prefix that matches the request URI user (or the number
		parameter) for the given user and domain name in the database.
		If a match is found and it is not set to whitelist, false is returned.
		Otherwise, true is returned. Pseudo-variables or AVPs can be used for
		the user, domain and number parameters. The number and table variables
		are optional, the defaults are used if they are ommited. The number
		parameter can be used to check for example against the from URI user.

		<title>Database setup</title>
		<para>
			Before running &kamailio; with userblacklist, you have to setup the database 
			table where the module will read the blacklist data. For that, if 
			the table was not created by the installation script or you choose
			to install everything by yourself you can use the userblacklist-create.sql
			<acronym>SQL</acronym> script in the database directories in the 
			kamailio/scripts folder as template. 
			Database and table name can be set with module parameters so they 
			can be changed, but the name of the columns must be as they are 
			in the <acronym>SQL</acronym> script.
			You can also find the complete database documentation on the
			project webpage, &kamailiodbdocs;.

		and <quote>123455787</quote> are also blacklisted, because the longest prefix
		will be matched.

	<para>
		This table will setup user specific blacklists for certain usernames. For example
		for user <quote>49721123456788</quote> the prefix <quote>1234</quote> will be not
		allowed, but the number <quote>123456788</quote> is allowed. Additionally a domain
		could be specified that is used for username matching if the <quote>use_domain</quote>
		parameter is set.
