Yes, people do silly things occasionally. Mail servers here will recognize that there are "x" number of local Received: headers on the message and place the message on hold. Mail admins periodically review those messages and deal with them manually. It takes a rare breed of faculty to make such a mistake again, although it has been known to happen here. - ken Sabo, Eric wrote:
If they forwarded how do you handle message loops? Has a message loop ever happened? We never allowed forwarding because of the message loops. We currently run Exchange 2007. -----Original Message----- From: The EDUCAUSE Security Constituent Group Listserv [mailto:SECURITY () LISTSERV EDUCAUSE EDU] On Behalf Of Ken Connelly Sent: Thursday, January 29, 2009 10:16 AM To: SECURITY () LISTSERV EDUCAUSE EDU Subject: Re: [SECURITY] Faculty & Staff E-mail Forwarding to Outside Providers We do not attempt to control e-mail forwarding for faculty, staff, or students. All are able to setup forwarding on their own without intervention from IT. - ken Stanclift, Michael wrote:Just curious how many of you permit employees to forward their work email to non-campus managed email providers. We will periodically setup forwards for them as requested, but have started to wonder if this may be a FERPA violation since students are not aware their information is being released to a third party service, where as if the professor asks them to use a non-campus email, at least they're aware of it when sending it. We've always disliked the practice because it's just additional overhead for us and makes it difficult to track down messages sent to people, or recover them if they delete them. But is there a legal reason behind not doing it? *Michael Stanclift* *Network Analyst* *Rockhurst University* http://help.rockhurst.edu <http://help.rockhurst.edu/> (816) 501-4231
