MOREnet Equipment, Security Coverage, E-mail During Summer Vacation

Please do NOT turn off power to MOREnet equipment and connections during summer vacation. If your organization plans to turn off its own network equipment during summer vacation, please be sure that power to MOREnet equipment is not interrupted. Turning off power to MOREnet equipment may result in equipment problems and circuit failure and could affect the reliability of your MOREnet services. MOREnet will continue to monitor equipment and circuits throughout the summer and will react appropriately to any problems.

If you plan to reduce staff for the summer, please remember your organization is still responsible for making efforts to ensure your Internet presence is maintained securely and for responding in a timely manner to acceptable use and security concerns from outside.

If you plan to turn off your mail server during the summer, consider having your users unsubscribe from their discussion lists. When the server is off, all messages sent to the lists are returned to the sender as undeliverable. Asking users to unsubscribe during the summer will help reduce the number of bounced messages.
