e-mail signatures and firewalls

XabbaRus · 10-03-06, 08:17 AM

My company is sourcing a company to design its company e-mail signature.

I think this is a waste of time as it is something that can be done in house as I showed using a simple but effective signature.

The reason I have been told that they are going out for quotes is so it will be properly tested to make sure it will get past firewalls etc. Hmm sounds like they have been fed BS by a signature writing company.

Am I wrong. We use Outlook 2003 and any signature would just be setup in that with everyone having their own variant.

Maybe I have missed something but I don't see how a small graphic and a bit of text in the signature file is going to upset a firewall.
