Change to Department Mail Server

Mail System Change - May 26, 2005

The department mail server was upgraded yesterday, and there was only a slight configuration error affecting a small set of users who use duke.edu emails, as opposed to departmental email.

If you use am email address of the form...

This change was not made arbitrarily; relaying for the duke.edu domain is no longer feasible due to the high number of virus-related messages that we are bouncing. Accordingly, we are removing the old default -- relaying for the entire duke.edu domain -- on Tuesday May 31st. If you use a Duke address of the form user@duke.edu please make sure that you follow the instructions below to update your client settings:

http://www.cs.duke.edu/csl/security/smtp-auth.php

Again, this only affects users who use an email address of the form user@duke.edu.

Please contact the Lab Staff if you need any assistance.
