Late last week and again early this week a number of email messages sent to Denison mailing lists (for example, DU_FacStaff) appeared with *** UNCHECKED *** at the front of the email subject. Please disregard the notation – these are legitimate Denison email messages.
This notation occurred because of a failure of the virus scanning software on the Denison server that processes listserv messages and indicated the message had not been checked for viruses. The problem has been corrected and should not recur.
If you have any questions or see this appear on a message dated 8/15/13 or later, please let the ITS Help Desk know at helpdesk@denison.edu.
