David,
Yes I have, and also with call through direct for friends.
What I've done is implemented a caller ID check that works this way:
1) Incoming call is checked for friends/family caller ID and sent directly to the inside extension (9491). You will see that as the first part of the config below, with the numbers/names edited for the list, of course.
2) Incoming call is checked for annoying caller ID and sent to a "goodbye" message and then disconnected.
3) All other calls get a standard greeting. If you know the inside extension to dial, you can dial it while the greeting plays (for friends/family that are not calling from their normal number). If you don't you'll be told in the message to dial another extension that takes you directly to voicemail. If you don't dial anything, you'll time out and be disconnected.
This works well, it seems. Friends/family get through fine, annoying people won't get anywhere, and everyone else gets a standard greeting. This standard greeting takes care of almost 100% of the telemarketer calls because they're not human and can't interpret my message. Their system just thinks it's an answering machine and hangs up. A human telemarketer can choose to leave a message if that person so desires, but, to be honest, between this and the "do not call" list, I haven't had an issue.
Hope this helps...config below.

. Here's what's worked for me:
; We begin by matching caller id for dialthrough ; Answer the line exten => s,1,Wait,1 ; Wait a second, just for fun exten => s,2,Answer ; Answer the line ; Match caller ID, if you can exten => s/##########,3,Goto(9491,1) ; Work exten => s/##########,3,Goto(9491,1) ; alt work exten => s/##########,3,Goto(9491,1) ; Mom at home exten => s/##########,3,Goto(9491,1) ; Moms cell
<etc, etc, etc, all of my friends and family>
; Throw unwanted callers away exten => s/##########,3,Goto(t,1) ; Annoying person...
; Continue to prompt if no callerid match exten => s,3,DigitTimeout,5 ; Set Digit Timeout to 5 seconds exten => s,4,ResponseTimeout,10 ; Set Response Timeout to 10 seconds exten => s,5,BackGround(markintro) ; Play the intro

I have been bugging by a telemarketer who does not take any cue at all.
So I look up the Asterisk Handbook and send his call with the respect caller id to my voicemail.
Has any one implemented any of this feature with database for more caller ids to be included??
