I was thinking about that - my concern was "and waits for the result". Could that potentially hang call processing?  If I pass to a python -> sendmail script and wait for the result, if my script hangs, I would have these calls waiting for the result (right?)

If you have a simple shell script that launches an email that would a quick and easy way to get going.

I'm currently using FreeSwitch between two systems as a "rate limiter' with the limit application.

I bring calls in, run through a hash to identify a loop - if my hash variable is met, I transfer the call to a new extension where I log the event and return a 503 to the source.  If not I return a 302 to the source to send the call on its way.

I'd like a way to identify these events to our NOC via email or a SNMP trap but I am not sure the best way to do it.

The alert would fall into the 503 extension.

What is the best way to accomplish this?

I'd like to keep the call flow as simple as possible.

Any ideas?

Thanks -
