Exclaimer Breaks Email Forwarding

UPDATE 15/09/2025: it looks like they fixed it a couple of weeks ago.

Recently, several colleagues reported that they received blank emails containing only images and a text file named ATT00001.txt. The images were part of the email signature, and the actual message body appeared inside the text attachment.

I soon found out that Exclaimer was causing the issue… sort of.

Hard to find Call Queues and Auto Attendants in Microsoft Teams

I’m currently migrating from our Skype environment to Teams and one of the issues we had was that our internal user could not easily find the Auto Attendant or Call queue of our internal departments. Only when they searched on the virtual operator (Resource Account) full name, did they get the correct results. Fortunately, thanks to some input from my teammates we found a solution that Microsoft didn’t document. 😫

Updating a rooted Fairphone 4 (February 2022)

A couple of months ago I rooted my Fairphone successfully but now the OTA doesn’t work. Which isn’t a big surprise as the signature is modified by installing Magisk. Fortunately, there is an easy method to fix this. Unfortunately, you will root your device again, but this time I was able to do it without any data loss (yeah! 🥳)

Update 24/04/2022: Works for update FF3T.A.0107
Update 01/06/2022: Successfully updated from A.107 to A.128

Decommissioning old servers

Nothing feels so good as shutting down an old server running an EOS operating system. A couple of years ago I did a project where I needed to migrate a lot of old Windows servers. Every time I decommissioned an old server in that project, I always entered some lyrics as final message. I recently found them back I wanted them. 😊

Fairphone 4 – Root -December 2021

A couple of days ago I received my Fairphone 4, but unfortunately for the moment, there aren’t any alternative operating systems available that provides you root access. Fortunately, the community already found a method to root the phone and to install Magisk. However, the instructions were not always that clear and I have written my own instructions guide.
