Florida Lifts Ban on E-Mail Forwarding

April 15, 2009 RSS Feed Print

The University of Florida will lift its ban on students forwarding their university E-mail to outside accounts, a practice it prohibited in 2005, the Independent Florida Alligator reports. Previously, the amount of spam made E-mail forwarding cumbersome for both the university's system and outside providers, but improvements in filtering on both ends will allow the university to offer the service to students now.

The university's spam filtering efforts will cost it around $300,000.
