Barracuda spam filtering tool being enabled for @mylaurier.ca email addresses Jan. 4

In order to continue protecting the Laurier community against malicious email spam, Barracuda, an email spam filtering tool, will be enabled for all ‘@mylaurier.ca’ email addresses on Wednesday, Jan. 4. This tool will help us better protect Laurier students from receiving emails with malicious links and attachments from cybercriminals; Barracuda is already enabled for faculty and staff email.

Once Barracuda is enabled, students will receive email notifications from ‘quarantine@ess.barracudanetworks.com’ whenever an email from an external sender is suspected as spam. Students will be able to use Barracuda to deliver, allow, or block suspected spam messages.
