Man this is one slow day. Where is everyone?
In pain.
What happened?
Kitchen remodeling prep work before the contractor comes out to run new gas lines.
Just sore everywhere.

Not so bad. But that will wear you out when you are old.

Serious fighting with the new dishwasher. Water dripped out of the connection (on the "input" side). Turned out it was caused by a bad "rubber seal" (hope you'll get it) inside the AquaStop valve.
-
fighting with PC issues.
Dead receiver on Logitech keyboard/mouse set
laptop with virus
someone borrowed the projector and didn't plug it back in correctlyetc etc etc

Just thought about my old notebook. Sounds like a bad story: A thief took it in the middle of the night out of my office. Poor guy ... he injured himself pretty bad, there was blood all over the carpet because he just broke the window and didn't pay much attention. I still have the VGA connector and the power supply. He just forgot to take the power supply and didn't disconnect the monitor before running away.
Got a call from the police a few weeks later: They found him, he took it because he was trying to get money for his next kick. -
FINALLY got our Exchange server to send emails again... New ISP blocks port 25 (thanks for telling us). A little powershell magic and we are up and running again.

I was very near the point of attempting physical assault on a server.

Get out there and give @nic some love.

He's kicking some ass so far.
Just like Webroot.

How did a script save this? You sending out a non standard port now? How do you receive email?

Finished setting up a Zabbix server vm following @JaredBusch's guide.

I have 3-5 hours of trainings/meetings every single day this week. I have no idea how I'm supposed to do my job at all.

We were receiving external mail just fine. After switching our ISP on Friday, we could no longer send on port 25. ISP support lets us know they block all port 25 traffic, so I used PS (well, Exchange Management Shell) to change the port number to 2525. It was just 2 commands:
Get-SendConnector -Identity "SENDCONNECTORNAME" | fl
Set-SendConnector -Identity "SENDCONNECTORNAME" -port 2525
All inbound stuff remains unchanged.

Could you wind up with any long term effects caused by this?

AFAIK the only long term effect will be being able to send mail to external domains. But I suppose time will tell...

Not from any properly configured email server. They'll continue to retry for up to a month. The system was designed for email servers to not be reliable/online.
