back to top Send Email Reminder

Please Check Your Quarantined E-mail Box

Recently, campus community members have been reporting that legitimate e-mails from off-campus e- mail addresses have increasingly been bounced back to the sender and not being received on campus.

This observation coincides with an increase in the number of blacklisted Yahoo, Hotmail, AOL, and Road Runner e-mail servers.

ITS is continuing to look at e-mail solutions that will best serve the campus community. In those efforts, we have recently made changes that will allow more e-mails to be quarantined at http://antispam.alfred.ed.... We are hopeful that these changes will ultimately allow more legitimate e-mails to be delivered to our campus users, while providing some level of protection from spam and scam e-mails.

With this in mind, it is very important to frequently check your quarantined e-mail. Please follow the directions on the attached sheet. This informational attachment also provides details on how to permanently "whitelist" an e-mail address so that it can be delivered without going through quarantine.

A general note about spam

Spam is not only an inconvenience, but also poses an information security risk. Increasingly sophisticated phishing scams have been successful in deceiving users (both on and off-campus) to provide login credentials to remote hackers. Please, never provide your login credentials regardless of how legitimate an e-mail request appears.

Spam is a resource-intensive problem for institutions of higher education, in that 8 out of 10 e-mails that hit our campus servers are spam. It is important to understand that the recent Epsilon security breach <http://searchsecurity.tec... >(which affected a number of very large banking and financial institutions, including TIAA-CREF) may place more importance on our ability to filter spam from legitimate e-mails.

If you have further questions please contact the ITS Helpdesk at 871.2222.
