Oh, *Wonderful*. Microsoft Did Something Stupid. Again.

Right, listen up you lot. Apparently, some “anti-spam” thing in Exchange Online and Teams decided to have a hissy fit and started blocking all links. Yes, ALL of them. Like, the entire internet is now spam according to Redmond’s ‘genius’ code. It affected tenants globally – meaning *your* emails and Teams chats are probably broken if you’re unlucky enough to use Microsoft’s garbage.

They claim it was a misconfigured rule. A MISCONFIGURED RULE?! Seriously? You build multi-billion dollar services and can’t get a simple filter right? It took them hours to even acknowledge the problem, let alone fix it. Hours of productivity lost because some intern probably copy-pasted the wrong thing into a config file.

The ‘fix’? A standard service update, naturally. Because that always solves everything, doesn’t it? They’re advising people to check their transport rules just in case this utter bollocks has broken anything else. Like we all have time for *that*.

Honestly, I wouldn’t trust Microsoft to boil water at this point. Expect more of this crap, because they clearly haven’t learned a damn thing.

Speaking of broken rules… I once had to debug a routing issue caused by someone setting a default route *to the loopback address*. The loopback! The sheer incompetence. It took me three days and an industrial amount of caffeine to fix that mess, and all they offered as thanks was a lukewarm coffee and a passive-aggressive email about ‘proper documentation’. Bunch of amateurs.
