#o365 — Public Fediverse posts

@randyridenour @jameshowell @greg @pymander No kidding! It took me forever to get the #O365 auth flow worked out, but #pizauth worked wonders with #mu4e.

Granted, I don't use email with or via #emacs, as I don't yet quite trust I won't wind up deleting everything on the server side. Plus, I have not yet sorted out the whole "everybody in the organization uses outlook calendar".

This means I can use up to date and original (yet closed) software for #MicrosoftWord (and other #O365 apps), being able to edit local documents, but not online ones… well, as a starting point it’s not so bad…

Wie Microsoft die Integrität der Luzerner gefährdet. Fälle von häuslicher Gewalt, Steuerbussen, psychologische Gutachten: Interne Dokumente zeigen, welche Daten in die Microsoft-Cloud des Kantons Luzern migriert werden sollen. Das Parlament entscheidet demnächst über einen Stopp.

We are considering moving away from Microsoft for office work. Moving to GSuite is not an option.

What alternatives are out that that manage:

* Email
* Groupware
* File management
* Teams replacement
* Office suite

I'd prefer something integrated and, this is key, affordable for a small business. NextCloud looks great but it isn't something we can pay for.

Something that won't shock our users would be good

Ha ha Office 365 - sure I want an out of office response from someone because I put a comment on a cell in a spreadsheet. cOlLaBoRaTiOn!1 #spam #o365 #hotmess

Bit of "fun" with O365 email for us this week...

Background: Our main email domain's MX records are on-prem servers that do a bunch of things, and email for our O365 domain relays through them. These on-prem MX servers have been dual-stack (ipv4 and ipv6) for many years now.

Not sure exactly when MS made various changes, but our example-com.mail.protection.outlook.com records have both ipv4 (A) and ipv6 (AAAA) addresses.

And they enforce that email they receive has to be via a "trusted connector" for your domain, pass SPF, or pass DKIM.

> 450 4.7.26 Service does not accept messages sent over IPv6 [dead::beef::1] unless they pass either SPF or DKIM validation (message not signed)

But O365 doesn't yet support adding ipv6 IPs/ranges to the trusted/connector list.

So, suddenly email sent to us without DKIM signatures was getting stuck in the MX server queues.

Our temporary workaround is we added egress firewall rules on the MX servers themselves blocking SMTP to 2a01:111:f400::/48 and 2a01:111:f403::/48 (the published ranges for their MX servers). Not ideal, but at least mail is flowing again.

How often do you audit and review if you have CA policy gaps in your organization to meet best practices?

Always a good omen when the synchronization between my work O365 calendar and my MacOS Calendar app silently stops working. I thought my day looked unusually open. Turns out there are four meetings not synced to my local client. Sigh.

@bfdi (ich weiß, Ihr seid nicht zuständig, deshalb nur allgemein z.K., auch @lfdi ):

Immer noch keine Antwort vom kirchlichen Datenschutz-Zentrum zur dienstlichen #Gmail und #GoogleCloud Nutzung. 🙄

Derweil ist klar, die neue Lösung für Schulen in der Trägerschaft unseres Bistums lautet: "irgendwas mit 365" #O365 #M365 #MS365

Ich kann nicht verstehen, warum Datenschutzbehördendenken, man könne das aussitzen. #Dogendealermodell #Marktführer #DSGVO #Medienkompetenz
