UMBC To Discontinue Five Legacy Email Domains

April 4 - Legacy Email Delivery Will Be Stopped

UMBC will discontinue delivery of email sent to five legacy email domains beginning April 4, 2013. During the past two months there has been an increase in spam to the campus. Analysis of the mail logs has shown that much of this increase can be attributed to mail being sent to and from legacy email domains (see below) that are no longer used.

NOTE: Only the email domains below will be affected by this change. Email sent to username@umbc.edu and previously exempted email domains will remain unaffected.

Legacy Email Domains to Be Discontinued on April 4, 2013

  •     Username@gl.umbc.edu
  •     Username@umbc2.umbc.edu
  •     Username@umbc7.umbc.edu
  •     Username@research.umbc.edu
  •     Username@smtp.umbc.edu
In some situations these legacy email domains may have been published thus making continued delivery important to an individual. If you would like to continue delivery of one or more of these legacy email domains please submit a ticket requesting your email be exempted from the changes going into effect on April 4, 2013.

If you would like to request continued delivery to one or more of the five legacy email domains please submit an RT (Request Tracker) ticket via my.umbc.edu/help or contact UMBC’s Technology Support Center at 410.455.3838.
