Email Security Improvement on July 7 May Affect 3rd Party Email Sending
submitted by krajewsk@augsburg.edu
Email phishing campaigns are never ending and as a way to improve our email security we will be implementing something called Sender Policy Framework email authentication (SPF). It’s a way to digitally sign augsburg.edu emails from trusted sources. This makes phishing campaigns inherently untrusted and will help reduce their effectiveness.
We will implement SPF on July 7, 2026.
That means, if you’re using an external system that sends mail for you using your augsburg.edu address as the “From” it may be flagged as suspicious. Depending on the system you use, IT can authenticate the system if it is a legitimate system.
We have been in contact with the departments who use major systems we’re aware of. But we may not know about all of the ones in use. Contact your LFC to get the ball rolling on verifying your external system.
For departments where we have set up a special sending address, like admissions.augsburg.edu or academicsuccess.augsburg.edu, will be unaffected.
We don’t anticipate problems but we’ll be monitoring for issues. Please contact your LFC if your department uses a cloud service that sends email and you notice delivery issues after we implement SPF.

Passphrase Syncing Between Augnet and Microsoft
submitted by harpern1@augsburg.edu
Augsburg Faculty, Staff, and Students,
Augsburg is turning on passphrase syncing between Microsoft and AugNet accounts on Wednesday, June 24th.
This means your AugNet passphrase will sync with your Microsoft account. After this change, the same passphrase you use for your AugNet will also be used for your Microsoft Office 365 Online account, making the sign-in experience more consistent across Augsburg systems.
What this means for you:
-This change affects how you sign-in to Office365 products. Augsburg owned computers license Office products differently and do not require you to authenticate.
-Your AugNet passphrase and Microsoft passphrase will match.
-When you change your AugNet passphrase, that change will also sync to your Microsoft account.
-You do not need to take any action right now unless prompted to update your AugNet passphrase.
Please continue signing in like normal. If you have trouble logging in after this change, students should contact the Augsburg TechDesk for support (techdesk@augsburg.edu or 612-330-1400) while Faculty and Staff should contact their LFC.
Thank you,
User Support Team

Office Moves and Mail/Package Deliveries
submitted by longj@augsburg.edu
If you are changing office spaces please let Central Services know once you are in your new space so we can make sure your mail and packages will continue to reach you.
Mail Room
The campus boxes are mostly assigned to the whole department and delivered to the department office or work hub. If the new office will be near the same location, we will not need to change anything with your campus box. If the whole department is moving we will need to update where the department campus box is delivered. If it is just part of the department or a single person we will talk to see if opening a personal campus box or changing what department box your mail is delivered to will work best. If your department would like to change to the be on the mail run or to picking up their mail from their campus box please email mailship@augsburg.edu and talk with Jeni Long.
Shipping/Receiving
Packages are delivered to the location listed for you in the Inside Augsburg Directory. During the academic year we will try to deliver to people’s personal offices first and will then deliver to the department’s office/work hub unless a different delivery location has been previously set up by the department. During the summer we will deliver to the department office/work hubs. The package system, QTrak, is normally updated once a month. Please email IT to have your information updated, Central Services does not have access to update the Inside Augsburg Directory.
If your department would like to change how the whole department receives mail or packages please email mailship@augsburg.edu and talk with Jeni Long. If you would prefer to pick up your packages instead of having them delivered to your department office, please let us know you would like to be added to the Do Not Deliver list by emailing mailship@augsburg.edu.
