Mass Email Regarding Tax Form Information
Applications and Services
 
Jan-08 2015 23:40

​Mass Email Regarding Tax Form Information

Earlier today an email was sent by the University's Accounts Receivable Office to all students using a distribution list.  Regrettably as a result of user error the email was incorrectly sent causing all students to be listed as recipients.  A number of students "replied to all"  causing all students to receive more emails and which then resulted in an overload of the University email server.

The Information Technology team is aware of the problem and is addressing the issue.  The mail server is back online now but mail transport may be delayed for the next couple of hours as this situation is resolved.  

We are sorry for any inconvenience that this incident caused our users and we will be reviewing our procedures to ensure that this does not happen again in the future.

Thank you for your patience and understanding in this matter.
