    I do like the O365 quarantine. It'll just occasionally go rogue and just start blocking all the Microsoft message - but won't actually give any reasons why it's blocking them. I reckon it's just spiteful banter between the different internal teams.

    It'll also just decide that it's going to quarantine a load of email that was delivered to mailboxes several days previously. I can see the rationale behind doing so but it's always a bit confusing when the quarantine screen suddenly has loads of old emails suddenly appear. It's especially confusing for the end users who suddenly can't find their emails.

    Maybe only the County part is optional? Though how would you know to put in your province before seeing the error message?

    I wonder what that County/State one would do if I selected "France", since France has neither counties nor states.

    France does have départments, which are pretty similar to counties. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Departments_of_France

    At almost a kg per cc, AlexMetall's test material is 434x denser than osmium. They must be working on something very special!

    Have you tried filling in the text "optional" in the "County / state (optional)" field?

    France does have departments, but it's not usual to put those in the mailing address; it's just city/town and postal code.

    I don't understand the Microsoft quarantine one at all. Given how easy it is to spoof the sender of an email, I have no way of determining from the screenshot whether the message is genuinely from Microsoft or a phishing attempt on someone who has publicly mentioned using Azure.

    Clearly the "Optional" one means to stay that the county/state is optional for certain countries...which some sites handle a bit more elegantly.

    But of course the state in this case is "New York" and the city should be "Schenectady". Having a cool zip code is one of the few benefits to Schenectady, NY.

    Yes, I know. I've been doing exactly that for the last fifteen years, seeing as how I (...) live in France. In fact, I'm sure I've mentioned that many, many times on this site and its forums.
