UF Spam Policy
Introduction
This policy is targeted at sources of unwanted, unsolicited email (spam) external to the UF Network.
Spam sent to University of Florida accounts is unacceptable and violates the terms of acceptable use of the University of Florida IT resources. It disrupts the public workplace, is detrimental to our resources, and it is not welcome by our users.
Enforcement
After the first occurence, an attempt will be made to notify the sender that unsolicited email should not be sent to university accounts and that any further receipt of such messages will initiate our procedures to block email from the sender.
After the second occurence, the system will be configured to block email coming from the offending account. Any reinstatement of privileges must be requested in writing from the UF ISM.
Alternatives

Those wishing to send unsolicited content to students may purchase mailing labels from the UF Registrar; contact Sunny Balough, 352-392-1361. x7303.
