If you are unsure as to the
appropriateness of an E-Mail Message,
please contact OIT at 215-951-2645 or OIT@PhilaU.edu
The
information conveyed should contain
significant news value
Announcements
of regularly scheduled meetings and
activities do not generally warrant
University-wide distribution via e-mail.
News that impacts a large number of
people and will have significant impact
on the University community may be
appropriate for mass distribution.
Target

your distribution list so your message
is delivered only to those for whom it's
relevant.
Avoid automatically sending to
everyone on the University network.
Student accounts are limited to fifty (50) addresses for a single message. Circumventing this limitation will be considered a violation of the University E-Mail Policy. Faculty

any limitation, but all messages should
be targeted to the smallest possible
audience.
