E-mail to hotmail accounts may be rejected until we clear our good name with the service (once again). Yet again, a user has had their account used to send thousands of messages to external entities which has resulted in blacklisting. We will try to clear this up as soon as possible.
In the mean-time, use your UDM account to e-mail other UDM accounts instead of e-mailing to/or from a hotmail account. Sending to accounts within the University domain are gaurenteed delivery.
All systems are operational at this time.
Faculty grade submissions are due on Monday, December 21, 2009 at 12:00 pm.
Between 7:00 am and 11:00 am, the University’s internet provider will be performing some maintenance on the Wayne State campus that may potentially disrupt service for UDM and a larger number of other schools. The interruption should be brief. If you have difficulty getting in, please try later in the day.
If you are on campus, you should not be affected by this situation. Faculty grade submissions are required by Monday, December 21, 2009 at 12:00 pm. Please keep this in mind.

Besides the Microsoft blacklisting, Verizon.net appears to be blacklisting UDM as well. ITS networking staff will work to clear this up with these providers as quickly as we can. Blacklisting is generally a result of too much SPAM coming out of someone’s account. Please, say “Delete” to SPAM.
