Folks,

I know this is not exactly a security topic, but does have security
implications. We are still getting pressure from University
organizations to use email as a medium to contact Faculty, Students, and
Staff.  We have sort of a defacto policy in place that requires approval
from an executive office before we allow it.

A copuple of questions I have are:

1. Does your school allow the use of Mass e-mail?

2. Do you require approval and from whom?

3. Do you have a tool that the requester(s) can use to send it
themselves or does central IT send it for them?

Thanks,
