If people send large amounts of mail to your SSCC email address it's best not to forward it

The SSCC's mail server (like almost all mail servers) does not forward mail it considers spam. If it did, the SSCC would soon be blacklisted as a spam source and many servers would reject all our mail. Our spam filter is very good at not marking legitimate mail as spam and for forwarded mail it is even more conservative, so the probability of a legitimate message not being forwarded is extremely low. However it is not zero.

If people send large amounts of mail to your SSCC email address and you have forwarded your SSCC email to some other address, the probability of one or more legitimate messages being lost because they were misclassified as spam and not forwarded becomes significant. (Messages sent in non-European character sets are somewhat more likely to be misclassified, so if you receive such mail the probability is even higher.) Forwards are best used so that you get the occasional email sent to an address other than the one you normally use (like SSCC announcements), or when you're transitioning between email addresses. If people will be sending a large amount of mail to your SSCC address it's best to read your SSCC email directly rather than forwarding it.

If you believe a legitimate message was not forwarded to you, contact the Help Desk for assistance. We may be able to recover it.
