VARIABLES

verbose = level

Level is in the range 1-9. Not all verbose levels are used.

HostnameFlag = value

Value is 0 or 1. Includes hostname in the IDENT string if 1.

ncidaddr = host address

The NCID server host address can be an IP address or a resolvable host name.

ncidport = port

The NCID server port number.

delay = seconds

cellport = port

The listen port as specified in the Remote Notifier application.

reject = from address[,from address][,from address]...

SMS and MMS messages usually have a 'from' address and depending on the carrier this could be a number or an email address. Specify a comma separated list of addresses that will NOT be transmitted by the NCID server to all listening NCID clients. This is used to prevent endless loops which could result in excessively high data or text charges by your cell phone carrier.

Remote Notifier sends the 'from' address in its 'data' (fifth) field. See NOTES below.

An example of an endless loop would be:

To prevent this endless loop, suppose you have ncid-page.conf configured to send SMS messages to your cell 'from' your email address of: johndoe@yahoo.com

You might want to set 'reject' to be:
