[Flex] Fwd: NSF caution on institutional email forwarding to personal email accounts

[Karen Schwamb]

Hi all,

Judy caught something that may become a problem for PIs with NSF 
grants.  If PIs forward their WHOI email to personal accounts (such as 
gmail), they may not be getting notifications from NSF because of 
enhanced security measures - please see below.

Thanks Judy,

Karen



******************************
/In October 2018, NSF implemented the Domain-based Message 
Authentication, Reporting & Conformance (DMARC) email changes required 
by the //Department of Homeland Security (DHS) 
<https://cyber.dhs.gov/bod/18-01/>//to improve email security. Some 
email routing practices (such as auto-forwarding to personal email 
accounts and sending messages through third-party providers) may cause 
messages to be flagged as potentially fraudulent by DMARC security 
checks and blocked. If your email is auto-forwarded to another account, 
such as a personal email account, you may not receive emails from NSF in 
that forwarded account. //More information about DMARC and email 
delivery from NSF. <https://www.nsf.gov/policies/dmarc.jsp>
