The new certificate of the Science mailserver hadn’t yet been placed in the right place. The expiration of the old certificate caused a problem for Science mail users, that was resolved by replacing the old certificate.
March 25, a rule “2020 Radboud Universiteit” was added to the Science spamfilter. Recently, this matched RU-central mailings. Therefore RU-wide mailings from e.g. the RU Board and Radboud Recharge have erroneously been delivered in the Spam folder of Science emplyees. The Science spamfilter tries to fight spam and phishing, this is partly manual work in which errors can’t be excluded. C&CZ apologizes for the inconvenience this has caused.

Due to an administrative error the mailboxen of a few hundreds of users became inaccessible. Mail couldn’t be read from or delivered to these mailboxes until this had been repaired. In this period the mailclient of 19 users tried to read the mailbox and thus possibly reported an error.
A new receiving mailserver was introduced July 1. This server has the most recent version of Ubuntu and other software and settings that are more conforming to the directives (in Dutch). After the introduction, problems appeared with receiving mail from Microsoft Office 365 Exchange Online (mail.protection.outlook.com). An even bigger problem was that some accepted mails were not forwarded, but bounced to the sender. Because that problem couldn’t be fixed immediately, the newly introduced server has been shut down on July 2....
