Gateway issue: handle carrier bounce messages gracefully

[ghost]

Gateway issue: If a carrier uses auto-replies to "bounce" a message bearing an invalid destination phone number, Kujua Lite will try to reply to the bounce message, which results in another bounce message and an infinite loop.

Can we define a list (incl range) of phone numbers to ignore, as in not respond to? For instance, for my carrier that would be something like: 1000, 2500-2599, 5000, 8888

We can, but I've seen telecoms where they send bounce messages for SMSs sent to non-existent phone numbers, and the sender phone number varies. Probably a regex-based content blacklist combined with a range-or-regex sender blacklist would cover most everything; I'm most worried about discovering what these should be in new countries, with new telcos, or in the DIY case.
