Currently we do not offer the alumni any email services.
Our Alumni Department was looking into some offcampus site offering
redirection. We were to setup an MX record in our DNS so that mail to
alumni.providence.edu would end up at their site.
Our administration was not crazy about the use of our domain name by people
not within arms reach. Imagine the Secret Service showing up here looking
for baduser@alumni.providence.edu because of presidential death
threats. When asked, "Where's baduser?" all we'd be able to do is shrug
our shoulders.
I had suggested that the Alumni Department get their own domain, something
along the lines of pcalumni.org as an attempt to have some detachment from
the school, yet give the alumni their warm fuzzy feeling. I've heard
nothing more on the subject.
