Earlier today, a global outage affecting the University of Nebraska System's email security provider, Proofpoint, disrupted inbound and outbound email for UNO, UNK, UNL and the Office of the President. UNMC was not directly impacted by the outage. Proofpoint has resolved the underlying issues, and all email services are now functioning as expected.

Messages sent between 6 and 10 a.m. — particularly those that resulted in a bounce-back message — were likely not delivered and should be resent. External senders, including those at UNMC, may also need to resend messages sent to you during that time.
