E-mail Service Affected by Increase in Spam 3/4/2011

A marked increase in spam activity has impacted Puget Sound’s e-mail system today. Members of the campus community may experience slow delivery of messages sent from a Puget Sound account to other e-mail systems such as Comcast, Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo, etc.

We are working to restore normal service levels as quickly as possible. Thank you for your patience!

[Resolved] Spam Sent From The E-mail System 6/4/09

A spammer gained control of a user account today when the account owner responded to a phishing message. The spammer sent a large volume of spam. This was noted at 9:30 PM and the user account was locked. TS staff will be checking with several recipient sites such as HotMail and Yahoo to make sure that the college has not been placed on blacklists, but you may experience E-mail delivery problems because of this incident.
