-tictech message:
Just recently a co-worker asked me about using
OWA for personal communication. Until now I have
always encouraged people (and people usually want) to
keep a separate personal email address. This person just
had a problem with their email provider and wants to
do away with his personal address and use OWA for all
his email communications.
I'm wondering:
a) Is this frowned upon? Is OWA for school business only or
is it a service provided by SSD for our convenience?
b) He is wondering what would happen if someone forwarded an
off color joke or message with inappropriate language. Is the
district sniffing for this sort of thing?
c) I think there are filters on certain file extensions
.mp3, .avi, etc.) in order to control bandwidth. Is this correct?
d) Is there a free email service, like hotmail, out there that
is not blocked by bess? I am able to access my ISP web mail service
from school, and a free service may be a solution to his problem.
