If that doesn't work, the receptionist puts them thru to me, and I tell them I have authority to decline whatever they are offering, and politely ask them to remove us from their list. But nothing gets rid of all of them.

But every time I try, I just end up getting into a conversation with them -- one I don't have time for. So, I just tell them he's in a meeting or something. Some of them have gotten wise to the not leaving a message thing, though. They'll ask to be put through the voice mail, but then they don't leave one. I know because I have access to my bosses' inboxes, and their voice mails show up there as MP3s.
