Mail Gateways

The mail gateways handle incoming mail to uky.edu and some other campus domains and outgoing mail from some systems. Some mail that remains on campus, but passes between mail systems, will use the mail gateways as well. The mail gateways analyze and categorize mail. Viruses and messages with potentially dangerous attachments are rejected. Likely spam is flagged. Mail from known spam sources and compromised machines and mail that appears to be intentionally deceptive about its origin is rejected. Mail that passes the inspection is sent on to the destination system were it is delivered to the recipient or recipients.

Individuals can control their spam processing through a web page at mg.uky.edu after logging in with their Link Blue user and password.

The help desk has a mail gateway FAQ.
