These guidelines pertain specifically to the use of electronic mail at the University. Violations may result in disciplinary action.

• All usage should conform to the general University Computing and Networking Acceptable Use Guidelines
• Do not promulgate chain letters. If you receive one, delete it. Do not send it on.
