Campus E-mail and Onyen Assignment

Forwarding

[draft]

E-mail may be electronically redirected from an onyen@email.unc.edu account to another e-mail account, using the existing forwarding services. If a member of the University community wishes to have e-mail redirected from his or her official address to another e-mail address (e.g., @aol.com, @hotmail.com, or an address on a departmental server), they will be required to acknowledge that they are accepting all risks and that the University cannot guarantee delivery. Redirecting e-mail does not absolve faculty, staff and students from the responsibilities associated with University communication sent to their official e-mail address.

Departments who run their own mail servers, and qualify as a “trusted domain”, may elect to have their employees’ and students’ Onyen e-mail account forwarded to their departmental mail server. ITS will set the forwarding for the accounts upon completion of the following requirements:

• The department will submit to ITS a list that contains the PID or Onyen for each account to be forwarded, and the destination email address.
• The department head will acknowledge the risks inherent with forwarding and the accept responsibility of delivery to his/her mail server.
• The department will notify the individuals that their Onyen e-mail has been forwarded to the departmental mail server.
