Sometime during the course of tomorrow (Thursday 15 June) afternoon, elephant.ru.ac.za will cease to act as a mail submission agent for local e-mail. Once this happens, any e-mail delivered to elephant for non-Rhodes addresses will be rejected.
This change should not affect the majority of users as e-mail clients that are configured to use the recommended outgoing e-mail server (mail.ru.ac.za) will be unaffected by this change. Those users who will be affected are users who've been using imap.ru.ac.za and/or elephant.ru.ac.za as an outgoing mail server (note that imap.ru.ac.za is still the correct address for the incoming mail server).
Users who experience difficulties in sending e-mail to non-Rhodes addresses are advised to check their e-mail clients are correctly configured.
