I emailed a bunch of files off to a prospective customer today. No, not SPAM. He requested them. The files were descriptions of some vehicle wash equipment and a photo.

Imagine my surprise when I recieved this email from a robot at his company:

"The BigConstructionCompany Standard Operating Environment (SOE) has determined your message contained information which may be of an offensive matter. the following files were deleted:

FWash5.jpg"

So! Their filth filter deletes graphic formats! I suppose the robot looked at the HUGE pump and the big pair of pipes and blew a fuse.

I imported the pic and one other into a word document, and emailed that off. I still haven't heard back. Maybe the doc got through. Maybe the robot has the photo of a wet truck pinned up somewhere.

Still no word back from the abottoir.

more likely the robot decided that 'fwash5' had to be naughty.

It's all those engineering fetishists out there, getting off on schemaitics and blueprints. Now they're ruining it for the rest of us...

Just a typographical error, I'm sure ...

Those poor, underpaid filtering software workers. I'm sure it was just an honest slip on their part. You know the sort. They meant to type in "18yo_licks_big_hot_dick.jpg" as a piece of art to filter out, and their finger slipped, so they typed "fwash5.jpg" instead.

A simple mistake. Could have happened to anyone.

Hee hee hee! :)

That's priceless! In Malaysia all the computers have obscenity filters pre-installed or somesuch in terms of derogatory language and slang, apparently. So anything sent there has those words ommitted or replaced with symbols or slashes or some such thing.

I think that the computer had an orgasm and has the pic secretly hidden in a private binary somewhere after running winwipe or some other ludicrous evidence remover.I'd love to see the face of someone hearing the explanation of what was sent, what it was thought to be, what it was in reality, and the resulting innuendo and speculation:). Maybe the server would have to ban itself.......*giggle*
