Description

The hangup-postal-code Extension searches the US postal codes for a state, commonwealth or territory abbreviation at the end of a Caller ID name. If a postal code is found, the server will hangup on the call. The caller name format for hangup is "CITY POSTAL_CODE". The extension only checks for a POSTAL_CODE at end of the name field.

The script is not called if the caller name is in ncidd.whitelist.

The postal-codes file was created from https://www.50states.com/abbreviations.htm.

Server hangup extensions are only executed by the server unless testing.
