Spam Blacklists not 100% effective

Dear Members - whilst we have restored blacklisting of inbound emails we have noticed that some emails are making it through. This is to do with the method the blacklists have been re-implemented. Without going into too much technical detail, the blacklists are now applied at the very first stage of mail processing rather than near the final stage. At this first stage, it is possible to transmit a message such that the 'sender' is forged, thus bypassing the blacklists. Current blacklists are still blocking around 15,000 emails per day but we are looking to introduce a second defence layer which will apply the blacklists again once the sender address has been confirmed. This may take a few weeks to build and test properly. Meanwhile - if you are suffering from particularly high levels of spam, please email our helpdesk who will be able to put in a manual temporary filter fix for you. Thanks as ever for your understanding.

Re-connecting


Concordia Alumni Connect is a great place to reconnect with fellow alumni, gain industry knowledge and share career expertise and opportunities with each other and the next generation of Concordia Alumni.

Professional Network


Trying to get back in touch with old classmates? Or to find alumni in your area or field of work? Find the connections you need to further your career or business.

Concordia Map


This map helps you see where in the country, or indeed the world, other Concordia alumni are based.

This could be useful if you are visiting an area for a holiday, on business, or completely relocating to a new place and keen to connect with others who share your experiences of Concordia!

eMentoring Platform


The eMentoring platform is designed to help alumni and graduating students connect so that alumni can advise and give guidance to Concordia alumni embarking on their chosen careers. This could be anything from a few emails or checking a CV/application, to meeting face to face or even offering work experience.

The idea is that alumni can donate as much or as little of their time as they can spare to helping those in need of a helping hand at the beginning of their careers.
