Email forwarding is out of order
Posted January 29th, 2009 by erbauza in
Automatic email forwarding from @earlham.edu and @bethanyseminary.edu accounts via Webmail is out of order for nearly all users*. Earlham Computing Services is working on the problem, but they have no time estimate for a solution.
We recognize that many seminary folks rely on this feature to allow them to check their seminary email account from another email account. There are three options for people who have been forwarding their mail:
Whitehouse.gov moves to Drupal!
Posted November 11th, 2009 by davisry in
Whitehouse.gov has converted their site to Drupal! Drupal is a CMS (content management system) that has been gaining in popularity over the past couple of years. Currently, all seminary websites (TWIC, SCS, ESR, Bethany) are Drupal sites. Here's a fun article about how the President's IT staff is utilizing Drupal.

More email scams
Posted May 19th, 2009 by davisryLooks like another round of email scams have started to make their way around campus. I'd like to take this time to remind everyone that SCS will NEVER ask you for your account information through email. Earlham Computing Services is not purging accounts based on user feedback.
Latest Email Scams
Posted April 26th, 2009 by davisryTwo more attempts have been launched to trick users into submitting their account information under the threat of losing access to their email accounts. It is important to remember that neither SCS or ECS will ever ask users for their account information through an email. If you have responded to either of these two emails you should contact the SCS helpdesk at (765) 983-1568 and we'll make sure your account hasn't been compromised.

A 'good' day
Posted January 23rd, 2009 by erbauza in
As I noted in an earlier post, the amount of spam that we turn away at our network perimiter started to increase in early December, settling in at an average of around 250,000 messages a day. Yesterday, we saw a spike in those numbers, rejecting 984,386 spam messages in one 24 hour period.
Spam is rising
Posted December 10th, 2008 by erbauzaJust in time for the holidays (and exams!) - we're seeing a 37% increase in the amount of spam that attempts to enter our network compared to this time last week. Why do spam rates continue to rise? Because spamming is still quite proffitable; a recent study showed that spammers can make very good money with a response rate of 1 in 12.5 million.
New features in Moodle 1.9
Posted August 25th, 2008 by erbauzaSince the recent server upgrade, we are using the latest version of Moodle (1.9). As always, there have been many behind-the-scenes fixes and performance enhancements, but there are also several new features worth mentioning.
Server upgraded
Posted August 20th, 2008 by erbauzaMoodle should now be running much faster, thanks to a brand new server which went live today (for technical details, click "Read More"). You should notice a marked improvement in Moodle's response time. We were also able to enable some new Moodle features that were not workable on the older server, including "drag and drop" reordering of course resources and blocks. As always, if you have problems with Moodle, let us know!
