We are currently in the testing phase of considering moving all student e-mail to Microsofts Live@EDU. I'm not real happy with it so far because of the number of messages we receive stating that the service is down completely or partially. As for staff/faculty e-mail we maintain it. We believe there is too much of a legal risk if we allow somebody else to take it over. -- Nathaniel Hall, GSEC GCFW GCIA GCIH GCFA Network Security System Administrator OTC Computer Networking Office: (417) 447-7535 ________________________________ From: Sadler, Connie [mailto:Connie_Sadler () BROWN EDU] Sent: Friday, November 17, 2006 2:56 PM To: SECURITY () LISTSERV EDUCAUSE EDU Subject: [SECURITY] Outsourcing Student (and maybe staff?) Email Have any of you already evaluated opportunities to outsource your student email accounts to places like Google, Microsoft, etc.? We are hearing more and more about the options, and I believe there are schools (or so we are told) that have already set agreements with Google or Microsoft, and I'm wondering if any of those institutions wouldn't mind sharing knowledge or experience in this area. Now I am hearing that some schools are outsourcing staff email as well. The price may be right, but how are we going to deal with security risk - by encrypting all staff/faculty email?
