Terms and Conditions for Use
In order to protect all users and
Bedfordshire Schools, all users of this electronic mail system
must comply with the following terms and conditions of use:-
- The mail system may not be used for any
commercial or mass-mailing purposes.
- You should not give your username and
password to anyone.
- The mail system may not be used to send or
receive any material which may be considered lewd, offensive, libelous,
pornographic, racist or illegal.
- Users should ensure that all data files
and programs sent via this system have been checked for computer
viruses. (The system should reject virus infected mail automatically)
- Abuse of the system by others should be
reported so that mail from the offending source can be refused.
- The system operates 3 levels of spam (junk
mail) and content checking. At January 2004 over 75% of all emails
received each day are rejected after being identified as spam or
inappropriate. However, no system is totally effective so teachers
should monitor students' use of the system.
- Old and unwanted messages should be
removed on a regular basis. This will enable all users to have
maximum flexibility and remove the need for mailbox size limits to be
imposed.
All mailboxes will be scanned and
monitored electronically to ensure compliance with these terms and
conditions.
The system is designed for use mainly by
students and teachers in Bedfordshire Schools. Very confidential mail
should not be sent through this system as any item of mail may be inspected
as part of the monitoring process to protect users and to meet DfES
guidelines for school email systems.
Any user found to be using the system in an
unauthorised manner will have their mailbox removed and may be subject to
further action by the appropriate authorities if required.
