Re: Stupid ISP Decision of The Year So Far Gos To. . .

I'm having a similar issue with Microscroat's products...

I use MS Access to write a database...

I try to email it to someone (usually myself) and MS Outlook and Outlook
Express both say its a dodgy file and they're not going to let me at it.

Nothing to do with technical theatre, I just wanted a brief rant!

PS (to get the post back on topic) Saw Footloose today at the Palace in
Manchester. Lots of vertical iron girder effects to make up part of the
set, which I assume were suspended from the fly tower. Shame it shook
ammusingly every time someone brushed past it, as did the trucks during one
of the dances... Anyone else got stories of supposedly immovable but
unfortunately mobile bits of set? How is it best avoided.. Discuss!

I know lots of ISPs that do that to incomming blocking .zip and also
.exe's due to the viruses that they may contain, but I havent heard
about it before on outgoing, seems very odd.

I suppose in this day and age of claiming compensation against everyone
and everything then its teh best ISPs can do to stop costly lawsuits.
Just visulise it, a user of an ISP sends a email with a virus to
another user in Company A whos whole server and internal network gets
compramised due to the virus.

Company A wants to file a lawsuit against someone and claim a buckload
of compensation, who do they blaim ?? The ISP of course as it was sent
using their servers.

Its an odd world !!
