Use AppleScript and Mail for remote control and file access

What this world needs is more Mac users posting hints about how to circumvent their company's IT security policies.

Don't we already have enough strikes against us without giving people more excuses to not buy macs?

There's nothing here to violate policy

There is absolutely nothing here that is designed to break the spirit or the letter of the company's policy as far as I can see.

Does the company have a policy against incoming e-mails with file attachments? Does the company have policy against asking a person or system to send you a file? If so, then it would presumably be removing attachments from e-mails.

No. Instead the company is blocking ports for very specific security reasons, and none of the company's measures are being circumvented by this approach.
