How strict??

[Guest Timmy_Turbo]

Started my new contract this week with let's just say a Government agency! ;) ;) nudge nudge an' all that.

 

Fook me it's anally strict here, locked down tighter than a duck that accidentally sat on a blob of super glue and now has an airtight sphincter to show for his trouble.

 

They scan email, my mate sent something or tried to and I got a snotty message in my Outlook inbox saying "An incoming email from *****@visteon.com has been blocked and held by the IS Helpdesk due to it containing words not considered appropriate..." blah blah blah.

 

Tried to click on the link on another thread and it was blocked, "Blocked due to internet auction sites not deemed acceptable...etc. etc. eBay is satan etc. etc." :(

 

Can't access my Yahoo account either as web based email is not acceptable either! Oh well, will have to do some work I guess. :rofl:

 

I can see a time where full internet access to employees will slowly be nuked on a grand scale! Until then I'd make the most of it. ;)
