Advisory: Morgan and Plato email address to be blocked as of May 5, 2010
As part of its long term
strategic IT plan, the Department of Computing and Communications
has been advocating the use of @mun.ca email addresses since 1999.
Prior to that date, most MUN email addresses were of the longer
@morgan.ucs.mun.ca or @plato.ucs.mun.ca format. When the short form
was implemented, we chose to continue support for the old longer
morgan/plato formats. It was felt that a period of continued
support would ease the transition and ensure that published email
addresses would continue to function normally.
Now, over 10 years later, we see that there is very little
legitimate use of the @morgan or @plato email addresses. Almost all
of our incoming mail destined for these legacy addresses is spam
addressed to our older email addresses, so blocking these will help
alleviate the spam problem for these recipients.
If you are still using your @morgan or @plato email address and
wish to continue to do so, please contact our Service Desk at
737-4595 or help@mun.ca so that we can continue to allow this mail
to get through to you.
If you are currently subscribed to a mailing list or newsletter
with your @morgan or @plato email address, you may either contact
the list owner and request that your email address be changed,
resubscribe to the list with your @mun.ca email address, or contact
us to continue support of your legacy format
email.
If you have any questions or concerns about this change and how it may affect you, please contact the Computing and Communications Service Desk at 737-4595 or help@mun.ca
