From what I have been able to discern so far state-mail.com is hosted by a
local web hosting service named www.LiquidWeb.com. The html source
indicates that the site is using google-analytics urchin software,
presumabely to track site usage. Has anyone used State-Mail and then
checked their AFS space to check on the permissions for the statemail
folder that state-mail creates on your AFS space?
The Opinion article in the State News today starts, "After endless
complaints about the problems of the current MSU e-mail system, it appears
the plight of students, faculty and staff could be over".
This application is getting a lot of press quickly. I could see a many
people, including faculty and staff with sensitive data, getting on board
in a heartbeat. Is anyone from MSU's email system or LCT digging deeper
into this system to determine whether it is appropriate for use in official
MSU communications?
