I have been using ekiga for quite a while now, and up to last week I also had my contacts freely available from the ekiga addressbook to anyone.

Unfortunately the complete lack of any filtering capability for incoming calls required me to hide my details.

The problem was that I was getting (unwanted) calls during the night (or during the day) from unknown people living in different timezones.

Therefore it would be really,really useful to be able to set up call-in filters based on some criteria.

For example I register to 2 voip providers so I'd like to have different filter sets depending where the call comes from as well a third set for calls coming directly to my IP.

Filters would be something like:

- Callers from domain/ip X always get through
- Callers from domain/ip X always get automatic hangup

- All calls betwwen 9PM-8AM do not ring the bell, instead a prominent flash appear on the screen (so that if I am sleeping I don;t get distrubed).
- Calls from a specific set of contacts always ring even in the night
- Calls from a regexp matched address (for example 0123455667@second.provider.com which is a gatway from POTS) ring but in a different ring-tone.

- Calls from X,Y,Z do not negotiate video even if available

Etc...

Callout filters maybe interesting too (exp for video negotiation, or exit route)

Anychance this can be considered and developed at some point?
