Last email of the day, unfortunately, similar to others received in the past: 'You've installed OpenVPN on our server, but our security procedures don't mention it. To be compliant, you should install a PPTP server, which we consider secure.' Of course, I'm not going to do this.
There's not much to do: the network will always be a sea of insecurity as long as we deal with certain procedures, rigid mindsets, and security manuals written when those graduating today probably weren't even born yet...
