(1) Do you do email from off-campus?
 If your machine
is physically on the campus and its
domain name is registered, you are on the campus network and are therefore
on-campus. (There are exceptions, but you know who you are.)
If you dialin
on the UIC dialin lines, you are on-campus.
If you telnet
to a campus machine such as tigger or icarus, and then use pine to send mail,
you are on-campus.
 If you connect
through an ISP, such as MediaOne, AOL, NetZero, or any of thousands of other
companies, you are off-campus. That’s not bad, but it does mean you should
not use the ACCC SMTP servers for outgoing mail!
(2) Do you use a personal computer email program, such as
Eudora, Netscape, or Outlook? (Not WebMail, that runs on an on-campus
machine.)
(3) Do you use an ACCC SMTP server when sending email?
You do if your server for outgoing email is smtpservN.cc.uic.edu.
If your answer to all three questions is yes,
then our closing our SMTP servers to outside mail affects you. See our "Changing
to Your ISP’s SMTP Server" pages to find out what you should do: http://www.uic.edu/depts/accc/ecomm/smtpmove/
(This page includes links that explain how to check and change your SMTP
server option.)
