Re: Email Forwarding

["Patria, Patricia" <PPatria () BENTLEY EDU>]

We allow students and faculty to forward e-mail, but not staff. For staff, we do prohibit forwarding for security 
reasons.

Folks,

I know this comes up every once in a while on this group and I hate to 
bring it up again, I just want to get a quick read of the landscape and 
see if anything has changed over the past year.

Q1: Do you allow forwarding of University email addresses internally 
and/or externally? (i.e. Allow username () pitt edu to forward to 
username () gmail com)

Q2: Do you treat students any differently than Faculty and Staff?

Q3: If you don't allow forwarding, is more a technical reason or 
security reason?


Thanks,
