At my last job, we didn't have a receptionist but a SSL certificate vendor we weren't using "noticed" our certs were close to expiring and kept calling me to get me to transfer to their company. I politely asked to be removed three times (Oldjob didn't have a wildcard cert and kept buying individual certs so their expiration times were all over the place), when he didn't I added his phone number to the PBX blacklist. Anyone calling from that number gets a "this number has been disconnected" message. _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] https://lists.lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/discuss This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
