DCAs have access to a full-time Exchange support person for help with everything from
configuring clients to troubleshooting mail delivery problems.
Exchange Billing Information
We charge $3 per mailbox/month for mailboxes set to the default "prohibit send" limit.
Current default limits are:
warning limit: 200MB
prohibit send: 240MB
prohibit send & receive: 400MB
Mailboxes set to a higher quota are billed an additional $2 per 240 MB increment of the default
"prohibit send" limit, e.g. a 480MB mailbox costs $5, a 720MB mailbox costs
$7, and so on.
We also provide access to the FS_Mail domain for groups who wish to use Exchange but do not maintain their own Active Directory
domain. There is no charge for FS_Mail accounts.
Please note: Network Engineering does not provide account administration -
that task is delegated to the DCA for the department. If your department does
not have a person to manage account and mailbox administration and
support, you should consider using the Community Network service.
