| Malicious and Unwanted Email |
|---|
Users of both personal and school email accounts are reminded of the need for vigilance when opening email messages and attachments. In particular, if you receive an email with an unexpected attachment you are strongly advised to delete it immediately without opening it.
The level of spam and virus filtering on the email system will be increased over the course of this term but such systems learn from experience and so cannot be guaranteed to detect all unwanted and malicious messages.
You should also ensure that your anti-virus software is always kept up-to-date using its Live Update (or similar) facility.

| Durham Learning Gateway |
|---|
All parts of the Durham Learning Gateway, including the Schools Extranet, are available for authorised users to access. You are strongly advised to set the Durham Schools Portal page (www.durhamlearning.net) as your internet homepage as this will ensure that you are always using the correct link to the DLG, and important news about the system will be posted on this page.
The link below will take you to a document outlining the planned developments of the system and any effect that these will have on availability over the coming year. | |

| Easier creation of new Email accounts |

 | A new system for creating email accounts has been introduced. The template file into which new account details are typed can now be downloaded from CNET along with a set of notes to help the completion process. Follow the link at the base of this item for details and to download the files.
From early December it is envisaged that this will be the only system for adding email accounts. |
