Email continues to be one of the most important technology tools at UCI. At the same time, email abuse in the form of spam and viruses can transform the simple act of browsing your mailbox into an annoying and frustrating exercise. In response to this growing problem, NACS has broadened its existing spam labeling and virus blocking program to cover more ways email reaches campus users.
In addition, we have recently upgraded the systems dedicated to processing email at UCI. Our POP servers now benefit from additional hardware, as well as software upgrades developed within NACS that have measurably improved performance under peak loads. Similarly, we’ve upgraded our IMAP servers and are working on software changes in those systems as well.
NACS expects that these changes will result in visible improvements in performance and end user experience. We would be happy to hear what you think.
