External Sender Notification now active
Posted by Gary Barton on April 18, 2022
As of April 18, all messages received in your WMU-owned email from external senders now indicate they were sent from outside of Western Michigan University. The notification will prompt users to consider the validity of messages as well as the links and attachments they contain. We hope this change offers another piece of useful information at-a-glance for our users to stay vigilant and improve the overall security posture at WMU.
