Proofpoint SPAM Filtering

As of May 21st, 2007 the Proofpoint spam filtering system has been implemented on both Wildcat and Exchange systems as a supplement to the Spam Assassin (below). Proofpoint operates on the server level to quarantine spam messages before they reach your account. A "Spam Digest" is sent to each account every day at 3:00pm indicating messages that have been quarter. More information can be found here.

E-mail Attachments: Blocked File Types

Many worms and viruses spread as attachments to e-mail. As a result, standard practice is to block many of the file types most commonly used by viruses that are not commonly attached to legitimate e-mail.

News/Announcements

7-20-09 Exchange 2007 - Macintosh Entourage Users Need to rebuild their profile


We have found that Macintosh Entourage users might experience issues with calendaring and appointments after our upgrade to Exchange 2007. Specifically, new meeting requests accepted via Outlook, OWA or a smart phone do not appear on the Entourage Calendar.
In addition, we have also found that Entourage users who have their exchange server ser to ESCHE.csuchico.edu instead of SILK.csuchico.edu may no longer be able to connect after the upgrade.
To fix these problem we recommended all Entourage users re-create their Entourage profile using the directions and settings we have in our Knowledge Base article here:
