To All Departments and members of the President-Faculty mailing list:

You should notice a reduction in the amount of spam you currently receive due to a test we are performing on our email systems.

Due to the overwhelming number of requests for assistance with phishing (electronic scam messages) and spam reduction, the Office of the Vice Provost for Information Technology (IT) is testing a variety of mechanisms that block spam and phishing email attacks on the campus mail systems.

These mechanisms do not block legitimate email messages; they are devised to identify mail servers sending verified phishing and spam messages and block all messages from those servers.

Additional details can be found online at: http://www.rice.edu/it/resources/email/phish.html

If you have any questions regarding your reduction in spam or phishing messages, please contact the Help Desk at 713-384-HELP (4357).
