Barracuda Reorganization Monday October 3rd 2011 8pm-12am

When: Monday October 3rd 2011 8pm-12am

To provide even better SPAM and Virus scanning we will be reorganizing our current Barracuda SPAM Firewalls. This will provide scanning for all incoming mail including mailing lists and external email forwards.

The change will mean that your Quarantine in the future will be from your username@umiacs.umd.edu address and will be distinct from your current Quarantine settings. We will be working to provide a transition in the next few weeks for your Quarantine settings.

You may receive two mails for up to 3 weeks (21days) from the Barracudas as your old Quarantine will still be available until messages expire after they are 21 days old.

Upgraded OpenLAB Desktop

The desktop called raspberry in Open Lab Computer Room in AVW room 4462 has been upgraded to a newer machine and is now running Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

New UNIX Print System

We are pleased to announce the immediately available CUPS print system for our UNIX (rhel/ubuntu) users. Please contact staff@umiacs.umd.edu with any issues.
