My main point really really was: don't try to work against the rules that usually are part of your work-contract, but work with them (unless you're on some sort of a mission to get fired).
Not allowing remote access isn't necessarily a measure of keeping information undisclosed - it's merely a measure to keep systems out of the local network that one has no control over. I have better things to do than to work through the aftermath caused by somebody connecting a worm/trojan/virus-infected computer/net to the net I'm responsible for... Most large companies I know either require "approved computers" (usually supplied by the company) or some serious "we'll cut your throat if you cause any problems" contracts, before one can access their net remotely. And I don't blame them, even if those rules make daily work more difficult than needed at times. > BTW, Do you know why the list drops S/MIME signed messages? Same as a couple of months ago - seems to be a side-effect of the "de-MIME" function used on the list, to get rid of HTML and possible malware. I'm not aware of any way to get past that (last time we discussed that, I tried everything I could think of, and S/MIME messages would just not go through). Maybe, part of it is that mailman re-writes the message (for the digest and to add the list-specific footer to the messages), which could break a signed message anyway. Maybe somebody more familiar with mailman and the supporting tools SF uses will be able to offer some ideas. For now, all I know is that it's best to not send S/MIME message to our lists.
