Please see the following scheduled Information Technology Services (ITS) maintenance process:

Date: Thursday, June 6, 2024

Start Time: 8 p.m.
End Time: 10 p.m.

The following work is being completed: Change to email processing. Enhanced Filtering for Connectors will be enabled on our incoming connector from our email filter. This will allow 365 and specifically Microsoft Defender’s anti-spam, anti-phish, and anti-spoofing tools to have better visibility into the actual sender of messages. The current setup has all emails coming in from one of two IP addresses related to the filter, this will bypass the filter and reveal the actual incoming IP address and sender for additional processing.

All affected groups: All WSU users

All processes affected: Microsoft Defender

Duration of impact: 10 minutes

Follow up steps customers need to take: None
