ISC Email Service - Transition Reports FY2005
In preparation for changes to the ISC Networking and Telecommunications
email service for FY2005, we will mail weekly reports to administrators listing users for whom they are responsible who are:
This report lists users who have used Elm and the number of Elm sessions
that the user started in the past week.
User # Sessions
----------------------
joeuser 3
Beginning July 1, 2004, Elm will no longer be available. Users
must choose to either use another protocol like IMAP or POP or change
to another host-based email client like Pine or Mutt. We offer
a table of command differences
between the three host-based email clients and more transition
documentation will be forthcoming.
Some users can currently send mail to addresses like
From: Joe User
To: someone
Subject: Hi
and it will be now be delivered to
joeuser@pobox
Beginning July 1, 2004, the mail will not be delivered unless the user sends mail using the fully
qualified domain name
From: Joe User
To: someone@pobox.upenn.edu
Subject: Hi
This reports lists the user sending the mail, the number of
messages sent to another user, and the non-fully qualified domain
name used as the recipient of the messsage(s).
User # Messages Recipient
----------------------------------
joeuser 6 someone
joeuser 8 janedoe
User education is the best way to combat this problem. Please advise
users that they must full email addresses when sending mail.
Beginning August 3, 2004, all users must set up their email clients
so that they are using authenticated SMTP. This report lists users
who are not currently using authenticated SMTP. Since spammers often
forge "From:" email addresses and since these users are not currently using authenticated SMTP, we cannot verify that your user actually sent
the mail in question. Please note the sending hostname information
as one means of verifying that this is really your user.
This report lists the user, the number of messages sent and the
originating address of the connection.
User # Messages Originating Address
----------------------------------
joeuser 6 server.somewhere.upenn.edu[123.123.123.123]
We do offer documentation showing the correct configuration
options for Eudora, Outlook, and Netscape.
