ºÚÁÏÊÓƵ

An alias is defined as an alternate email name (e.g., an alternative to your username).

Your email account is defined by your ºÚÁÏÊÓƵ computing username. Your username is also your email address (username@iup.edu). 

To help protect the ºÚÁÏÊÓƵ network and its users, ºÚÁÏÊÓƵ does not permit delivery of email messages that contain high-risk attachments. Email messages that contain attachments of any of the file types noted below will not be delivered to ºÚÁÏÊÓƵ email accounts.

When such an attachment is encountered, the ºÚÁÏÊÓƵ email system will return the message to the sender with a note reporting that the message cannot be delivered because it contains a restricted attachment.

Please note that if you include a file of these types in a ZIP file, even though you rename the ZIP file per the renaming note, the attachment will still not send. 

When files with these extensions need to be exchanged, the sender and receiver can use one of the following options:

• See the Renaming email attachments link to rename extension of file
• Exchange files via your OneDrive space, network share or Teams space

Renaming a file to include an extension that is not restricted is the easiest way to work within the requirements of attachment filtering. The steps below outline how to accomplish renaming files for an email exchange.

1. Click once on the desired file, then right-click and select Rename from the pop-up menu.
2. When the file name is highlighted, retype the file name with an extension that is not restricted. For example, the file "test.exe" would be renamed to "testfile-exe.txt."
3. When you see the "Rename" dialog box, you will need to select Yes to rename the file.
4. Attach and send the file using your desired email client (e.g., Outlook).
5. The person who receives the message must rename the attached file back to its original name. Once they save the attachment to a desired location, follow steps 1 through 3 to rename the file.
