So, yesterday, Purdue's IT staff decided to shut off --without warning -- access to the campus SMTP server for those of us who use it because of some undefined abuse. That didn't affect the majority of students or faculty because they use MS Office365. However, those of us who run our own customized client software were SOL.
Do they have an alternative for us? Nope. The help desk says the only solution is to switch to Office365. I, for one, will not welcome our new MS overlords.
