+1 You have given them the recommendation and they have decided. Let it go, move on and ignore the emails in the future. You may be sick of them but management is not. Yet.

Not until some idiot sends something that gets on one of the exec team's nerves. Just wondering if there was any other way I could spare myself some pain.

I am sick of getting emails that say "there is a salesman selling cards in reception" and when someone spammed the DL with a hoax that was well-documented on snopes.com<http://snopes.com>, I ended up getting a reprimand from my boss about being harsh to users. I only threatened to remove her ability to send to the DL. Sheesh. I know that we shouldn't give all users the ability to send to it, but I doubt I am going to shift my boss's boss's stance on this one. Any other pointers would be also gratefully received, I am not much of an Exchange bod.
