Anti-spam environment gets upgrade
On Friday [Jan. 25], Mississippi State's anti-spam environment upgraded to Microsoft's advanced anti-spam solution. This is the first step in moving the university's email environment to Office 365. Students, faculty and staff will notice the following changes to email delivery:
* Spam will be placed in the "Junk Email" folder regardless of existing client rules
* Users will configure "Safe Senders" and "Blocked Senders" in the Outlook client in lieu of StopSpam
* Users must check the "Junk Email" folder for legitimate email and configure "Never Block . . ." options as appropriate
* Email in the "Junk Email" folder older than 30 days automatically will be deleted
* Web links may now contain safelinks.protection.outlook.com for URL link protection
If you have any questions, please contact the ITS Service Desk at (662) 325-0631 or servicedesk@msstate.edu, or contact IT Desktop Support personnel.
