[Gloucs] Jobs at MessageLabs

[Jill Tovey]

Hi David,

Thank you for your interest in this position, presumably you're not interested in applying?

The role I was posting about is not related to the web server, mail server or website.  I don't work with those things, I have no influence or input into them and so I don't think I can respond to your comments in sufficient enough detail to appease you.

MessageLabs does use MS based products, however the job that I am referring to uses Linux and offers the opportunity to gain LPI certifications.

I posted the mail for people who are looking for jobs, not as an opportunity for people to find issue with the company.

I don't work in HR trying to recruit the masses and I don't work in sales or marketing trying to promote the company to the list, I'm just a techie working in the same job I am posting about letting people know there are jobs going.

Really!?  Where do you manage to fit it in amongst your MS stuff?

Taken from your mail headers:

Telneting to www.messagelabs.com gives:

If anyone who was using Free/OpenSource Software (and I think that
would apply to many, if not most, reading this list) was interested in
your job they'd _have_ to email you for more info as your web site is
unusable in both Mozilla and Konqueror.  Lynx simply gets this:

    Welcome to MessageLabs - Global pioneers in Email security.

    Thank you for visiting MessageLabs. Our site does not currently
	support text-only browsers.

One can only hope that the "does not currently support" implies that
there are plans to support it in future?

Perhaps you should contact your "webmasters" and suggest they
checkout the 234 errors that your company's home page produces at
http://validator.w3.org/
