Profanity – outbound

This is too funny! I was writing an email to John just now, and I was logged into my work email online from my personal computer (which I almost never do) and I forgot I was in the work system rather than my personal gmail.

I wrote, “I am making this shit up as I go”, in reference to trying to learn my job without anyone here to train me, because we’ve had so much turnover recently.

A second after I hit send, I got this:

The Email Security service has detected content matching a policy violation in the following email…The message…was not delivered.

Triggered Rule: Profanity Outbound

Reason: mail is outbound…lexical match: shit:shit;body;2;115
