Update: Outgoing UNCG email is no longer being blocked/delayed
It appears that all the major internet email providers (including AOL and Road Runner), which were blocking campus outgoing email yesterday are now again accepting email from UNCG.
Information Technology Services (ITS) has sent email to these as well as several other providers (Bellsouth, Earthlink, Hotmail, Gmail, and Yahoo!) without any problem. It is possible that outgoing email from UNCG may still be blocked by some internet email providers, and ITS will continue to monitor and address these blocks as they are reported.

FastFacts
- Who: University Community
- What: Outgoing UNCG email is being blocked (by AOL & Road Runner) or temporarily delayed (by Yahoo!)
- Why: Spam was sent from within the UNCG email system to these domains
Only outgoing UNCG email is being blocked/temporarily delayed (incoming is being received normally).
Information Technology Services (ITS) is working towards a resolution, and a follow-up message will be sent to the campus when the problem is resolved.
