Projects
| Category | Description | Status | Trend | Priority | Est. Completion Date |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| New Mass Email Domains and Servers The design of the current footprint of email domains and servers at the University can occasionally lead to issues where messages are blocked when a system sends a high volume of email. New servers and domains are being created to ensure the uconn.edu domain does not get blocked in these scenarios. Building reputation on the new servers is taking longer than anticipated, which is causing delays in new domain rollout. |

| New "Bulk Mail" Domain and Servers To handle the quantity of "bulk" email sent by systems at the University, a new bulkmail option for Mass Mail is being created. The new servers required for this service are slowly building reputation, and the project is dependent on the pace that the 'internet' accepts these new servers as valid UConn mail servers. |

| Email Assignment Standardization The processes by which different populations recieve email at UConn will be re-evaluated and thoroughly documented to include their expected behavior and timelines. Allowed exceptions will be identified and supported in specific and managable ways. |

| M365 | Data Loss Prevention Data Loss Prevention (DLP) provides functionality to ensure that University data is kept secure as it traverses Email, SharePoint, and other online and physical storage mechanisms.

| M365 | Storage Quotas After changes by Microsoft, the University's Microsoft 365 tenant is currently consuming more storage than is funded.
