Quade	[quote]Posted: Wednesday, August 10, 2005 at 10:31 am EDT I would have put this in "Things that piss you off", but this goes beyond just being pissed off. The IT department of our company just instituted a ton of restrictive firewall settings that turn off everything, then allow (for specific users) e-mail (not real e-mail, just Exchange protocol) and web access. FTP access is on a per-client-per-destination basis, as is ssh. Now, these fuckers have no idea what they're doing. Ever since they took over e-mail from the New Media division, it hasn't worked right. You can send me e-mail with attachments, but only if it's a virus. If I send you (say, a big client) an e-mail with an attachment, not only do you not get it, but I get no notification that you don't get it. These same fuckers are now turning things off on the Internet. Appearantly, they turned the phones off (WTF?!?) just before the quarterly meeting with outside investors. Goddammit...I'm going to be spending all day trying to get ports turned on just to do my fucking job.
