The College operates an anti-spam server to reduce the amount of spam (junk e-mail) received by SNC e-mail users. The name of the product we use is the "Barracuda Spam Firewall." Note that this system will reduce the amount of spam you receive, but no system can block 100% of all spam. For more information, see Spam and Barracuda Anti-spam server.
"Phishing" refers to e-mail messages designed to get you to reveal your personal information so they can access your accounts and steal your identity. For more information about phishing attacks, see our Phishing page.
St. Norbert College operates many e-mail lists. Some of these lists are automated, that is, created on the basis of a defined group, such as those registered for a particular course, those with access to a campus system, etc., while others are voluntary. For more information, see the Mailing Lists page.
Each College department or organization has an e-mail address which is used as a primary departmental contact, e.g., library@snc.edu or dining@snc.edu. These addresses are used on web sites, as well as on letterhead and other materials. Mail sent to these addresses goes into a folder in Zimbra that is shared with one or more people in the department or organization. If you are the recipient of one of these addresses, you will have a folder named department@snc.edu in your list of Zimbra e-mail folders.
The person with whom the folder is initially shared can share it with others by right-clicking on it and choosing Share Folder, or revoke access by right-clicking on it and choosing Edit Properties. More information about sharing folders can be found in the Zimbra Basics handout.
If you use Thunderbird or Outlook to read your Zimbra e-mail, you may not see your departmental folder until you subscribe to it. See these instructions for details.
To request a new departmental address, please use the " Dept/Group E-mail Request" link on mySNC.
For more information, see our other e-mail & discussion list handouts.
