Panasonic bans free mails

Oct 11, 2006 10:49

Free email services like Gmail, Yahoo and Hotmail are now not welcomed by corporate networks. Those varrying viruses and spams have only made it worse.

This morning, my Reply-to-All email was rejected by Panasonic Malaysia. The bounced email said "this is due to automatic rules that have determined that the message is from banned domains (Yahoo, Hotmail, Gmail)".

Ahemmm... The Big Three are now banned domains!

My friend, who is a recipient using the username@pm.panasonic.com.my domain, must request the network administrator for the particular email massage to be released, and it must be business-related.

The bounced email also indicated that thousands of emails (junks, virus) are being blocked by Panasonic Malaysia's network everyday. Hence, to answer to individual requests for email release could drain resources. At Panasonic Malaysia, specific information such as date, time, and rule are required for email searching. If no contact is made within five days the message will automatically be deleted.

Now I realize why my business-related Gmails to Panasonic Malaysia have received no replies.

About Jeff Ooi

Jeff Ooi is an Internet and e-Business consultant based in Kuala Lumpur who's spent the last four years blogging internationally on the tech scene, on anything and nothing. Which doesn't really explain why most of his own technology is about three years out of date. He doesn't even own a PDA after his Palm V crashed. He's on 3G, though... Lemak Lemang refers to coconut-flavored sticky rice stuffed in a bamboo container.
