Re: Email Forwarding

[Chris Steele <chris.steele () ANGELO EDU>]

We do not allow forwarding currently by student/faculty/staff/etc.  Technically, we used to allow it and do it once 
upon a time.  SPAM and particularly winding up on blocked from sending mail was part of our decision to no longer 
forward.  We have not revisited that in detail to make any technical changes to avoid such issues.

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?
