E-mail bounce - Hotmail 08/18 7:30 a.m.

For compromised e-mail account of our e-mail system and consequent spammers abuse, MSN - Hotmail (and possibly other ISPs) is rejecting e-mail originated at University e-mail servers.

Again, users are not suppose to reveal their user ID and password in response to any (and especially unsolicited) e-mail correspondence. Not only that this causes abuse of our e-mail system and consequent troubles to deliver e-mail to our correspondents, this makes very sensitive personal data accessible and opens door to identity theft.

ITS is going to take steps to re-enable undisturbed e-mail flow.
