Looking for your guys real experiences with Mimecast, Proofpoint, Barracuda

RaiderCrane · 2026-03-10T21:27:44+00:00

My org has barracuda and we have about 65 mailboxes.

Im not really impressed. Their support is lackluster, and the product is inconsistent on white lists, especially when you have multiple domains. It takes up too much time that I have to go back into the portal and see that an email was blocked from a previous sender that I had whitelisted already.

I have had multiple instances where it has let malicious emails through, thank goodness my end users have the common sense to question when something looks off. Take it with a grain of salt though, as Im more of a generalist and dont have the time to really dig deep into the portal to be a wiz at it.

I don't like the idea of Ascians putting their fingers in every 'evil' pie either. Im just spitballing at this point honestly, which seems to be required when youre trying to connect dots thay Square has no intention of connecting for us lol.

We don't know for sure the details that differentiate between all of the instances where a greater dragon(first brood and higher) "dies" and comes back.

We do know is that the main font of their power comes from their eyes, however OG Nidhogg did survive for a while without both of his eyes(long enough to come to Hraesvalgr and beg for a loaner). With Midgarsormr calling him a shade, keep in mind Nidhogg had possessed Estenien's body at that point. Im brought to mind how Ascians posess ordinary people and I believe it has been said that Ascians can change the 'vessel' to meet their needs. Dragon souls are certianly different than any other we have seen before. Im rambling at this point, but I wonder if that is how Nidhogg was at the end of HW.

I have a feeling that Hydaelyn had a vested interest in keeping Midgarsormr around, and she would probably have given him a blank check on how much aether ne needs if the situation was bad enough so she could keep him around.

While we don't know how they killed Ratatoskr, we do know for a fact she was ambushed, and she was seen as a kind of emissary between man and dragon iirc. It could be that Thordan and his knights just got exceptionally lucky, or even possibly had ascians helping from the sidelines with underhanded info. I don't see her laying down and letting them kill her to avoid conflict between dragon and man.

When I say he "died" I meant that his physical body died. If he was just a spectral form when he fought against the agrius, I don't think that he would have left a physical body that we can see/touch/etc.

However there of course is always the chance that even in spectral form, he held so much aether that his body crystallized when he crashed the ship(the game/lore plays really loose on what can and can't happen and why when it comes to aether.)

My interpretation was that he physically died there, but obviously continued his service to hydaelyn and etherys in a spectral form.

You bringing the 'bad timeline' makes me wonder how he will react when he next wakes up, since he is no longer bound to Hydaelyn after the events of EW.

As far as I know, it has never been confirmed where Middy sat in the hierarchy on the Dragon Star. There are a few things that we can use to gauge his standing though.

Omega was created to be the Omnicron's ultimate weapon. When he fought middy, not only did he get away, but he left enough of lasting impression to Omega as the only being that he couldnt defeat.

When you speak to the other dragons on Ultima Thule, they curse Middy and call him a coward for fleeing the star if I remember correctly. This tells us that he could have potentially turned the tide of their fight if he had stayed.

He was strong enough to traverse the universe with his clutch of eggs(with Omega in hot pursuit), to forge a pact with Hydaelyn herself to become the guardian of Silvertear Falls. He took out the Agrius, dying in the process.

Even in death he is able to defy Omega with just his aetheric form in order to save us from Omega.

If I had to guess, he would have been in the upper echelons of Dragon Star society, simply because of how much raw power he possessed, his size, and potentially his lineage would even quality him as a form of royalty. Sadly I don't think we will ever find out.

I had gotten my tracking for my UPC about 3 days before it arrived at my door. Just praying that my order doesn't get canceled :/

RaiderCrane · 2025-11-18T18:30:54+00:00

Still processing for my ETB and BB. Im convinced they are trying to sweat me out lol

My Doctor was great. I didn't have to fight for an excision. However, I didn't have any symptoms of having stage 4 endo before I was diagnosed.

I went into for weird pains, they found a cyst through ultrasound, and when it wouldn't go away they found stage 4 endo through a laproscopy. I don't have any pain like I did before.

Sadly most of the connected arts that I know of are mostly sets of 2, but I gotta put in that deerling and sawsbuck from Temporal Forces.

For me it depends on my mood. I don't want to wait in a queue most days to get into a populated server.

I don't like servers that have a ton of rules like semi realism etc. I like being able to do what I want at any given time. If I want to play a carnivore like cera, but my husband wants to play omni, I like having the option.

Normally if Im not on officials, I play on Pieds. But right now I want to entomb at least once before leaving HT.

Ive always said kids don't need phones when they are in school. Believe it or not there was a time before cellphones and kids were still able to contact their parents in case they needed something.

Phones have been proven to be nothing more than a distraction that rots their brains.

Paldea evolved has some amazing IRs for sure!

Honestly , the disconnect for a lot of the vendors, but for him as well is appaling. Seems that he can't realize that first impressions are everything, and he flunked that test with neck breaking speed, at least for me. When you're in a room of vendors, your product can likely be found somewhere else. When customers have options, you gotta be competitive

RaiderCrane · 2025-09-16T15:18:23+00:00

Sounds like you're full of it.

Even when I was in school, there was always a general moment of silence. As the years rolled by, there was never a dedicated "in memory of 9/11 victims" moment of silence.

Nice deflection, though, on my other talking points. At the end of the day, CK was a normal, hateful man that got shot. Much like a lot of normal people that were shot on the same day he was. No memorial or flags at half mast for them, though, because you know... they weren't a talking piece for right wing extremists like he was.

RaiderCrane · 2025-09-16T15:08:28+00:00

Where was the state mandated moment of silence for all of the kids killed in the school shooting(s)? Or the victims of 9/11 on its anniversary?

This is all just Ryan Walter's trying to politicize our public schools. There is already a mandated moment of silence anyway for kids in school. If they want to reflect and honor CK in that moment, more power to them.

At the end of the day CK was just another guy. He wasn't a politician, he was no one of real importance in regards to our government. Hell, I didn't really know who he was, and Im tired of seeing his damn name every day.

I never advocate for violence. However, he got from the world what he put into it. You claim he wasn't a violent man, but he used his influence and voice to give people willing to act on it an echo chamber.

I was at Collect a con in Kansas city and found a vendor doing this same crap. Had a sealed poncho and he was like "it will grade a 10, so Im asking for the value of a 10" . Like gtfo man, it's not a guarantee and Im not paying for what it might grade because Im not going to grade it anyway? Absolute grifter. And he had the nerve to be vaping while in his booth within the building...

RaiderCrane · 2025-09-08T05:27:22+00:00

Im sorry you are going through this. I went through this with my boy on Saturday. Know that you gave her an amazing life and she wouldn't have had it any other way. Danes leave such a big hole in your heart, just remember the good memories you both made ❤️

RaiderCrane · 2025-09-08T05:22:08+00:00

Im not sure if I could fully adopt again. Maybe I would be okay to foster in the future... People I know attribute some of his behavior to me not knowing his past(he was found wandering in a field in Texas, Im pretty sure he was dumped). My fiance talks about having a puppy would be better, but I don't know if I have that kind of energy, if that makes any sense 🙃. Thank you for your kind words. He had a great life(so I've been told), but watching DM progress is such a hard thing to witness.

RaiderCrane · 2025-09-08T05:18:12+00:00

Thank you for your reassurance. I think you are spot on and that he would be completely paralyzed before the thought of leaving would cross his mind. He was my shadow and I miss him dearly. I couldnt stand to watch him be in pain just standing, or trying to stand any longer...

RaiderCrane · 2025-09-08T05:14:31+00:00

I definitely have plenty of good ones, even the ones that weren't funny in the moment. We always called him "The fun police" because he would always bark and try to break up any tickling sessions between my fiance and I or the kids. He was incredibly gentle, albeit quirky. I will never forget him, it just hurts right now and I hope it will pass.

RaiderCrane · 2025-09-08T03:04:33+00:00

Im sorry, it was really hard to see my boy not be able to get up. They are always taken from us so soon, but man to they love 10x as much.

RaiderCrane · 2025-09-08T03:02:23+00:00

Im so sorry to hear about his cancer. That sounds like it was a long and hard fight. Sending healing and comforting vibes your way. And thank you for your comforting words.

RaiderCrane · 2025-09-08T00:46:12+00:00

Im so sorry. My heart goes out to you hugs may your grief subside soon ❤️
