In order to prevent spamming organizations from "harvesting" HÂþ» email addresses, University Computing and Information Services (UCIS) has placed an additional security level on the university LDAP directory. This will require anyone using the directory off-campus to login as a HÂþ» user.
This change will be invisible to anyone logging on from the HÂþ» campus, but may affect those trying to send email from home, unless they are using MY.DAL (my.dal.ca) to access their email.
Effective Thursday, June 16, 2005, any HÂþ» members trying to use an email program (Eudora, Outlook, Thunderbird) to access the staff directory by email from home, will have to make small setting changes to their email program.
Instructions can be found at:
If you use for all email from home you will not be affected by these changes.
