Guidelines on Sending Mass Emails

 To facilitate communication and information dissemination in daily work, colleagues may have to send mass emails to a large group of recipients. For proper and efficient use of the university email system, colleagues are reminded of the following guidelines on sending mass emails. 

• Email is an official communication facility of the university that should be used for work-related purposes, instead of personal, marketing and other non-work-related purposes
• Personal data privacy and information security should be observed in the e-mail delivery
• The recipients' addresses should be put under BCC to avoid unnecessary replies that may incur huge network traffic
• File attachments should be avoided as it may incur huge network traffic. A good practice is to use embedded URLs in the email message body
