    I have a large number of trunks I need to exclude in the secast.conf file in the [channelvolume] stanza, which I have entered like this:

    exclude= \
    IAX/1234567890 | \
    IAX/1234567891 | \
    IAX/1234567892 | \
    IAX/1234567893 | \
    IAX/1234567894 | \
    IAX/1234567895 | \
    IAX/1234567896 | \
    IAX/1234567897 | \
    IAX/trunkin000 | \
    IAX/trunkin001 | \
    IAX/trunkin002 | \
    IAX/trunkin003 | \
    IAX/trunkin004 | \
    IAX/trunkin005

    After the fifth line my excludes are ignored. Why?

    The problem is that you have a space character after the backslash on line 5 (based on analyzing the config file sent). If you add any character after a backslash it means ‘escape’ as opposed to ‘continuation’. So SecAst stops reading your excludes at line 5.

    The solution is to ensure you have no characters following the backslash character.
