Technology Update: Unable to send emails to user's with Hotmail accounts

Technology Update
Office of the CIO
July 27, 2011

Greetings University Community,
A uvi.edu email account was involved in an email spam event that involved many unsolicited emails to be sent from the uvi.edu domain. This event appears to have resulted from a computer virus. While the virus has been removed, the result of the spam event is that Hotmail has temporarily blocked all e-mail coming from the uvi.edu domain. ITS network technicians are working directly with Hotmail to have them unblock our domain. This may take a few days as we work to correct/improve our e-mail standing on the Internet.
ITS apologizes for any inconvenience this technical difficulty may cause. If you have any questions please contact our helpdesk at ext. 1466 or helpdesk@uvi.edu.
