La Trobe University email security updates

To reduce risk and align with best practices, new email limits have been introduced to student La Trobe email accounts: [student number]@students.latrobe.edu.au.

What’s changed?

  • Students will be limited to sending to only 1000 recipients per hour.
  • The maximum email size will be reduced to 50MB to improve overall email system performance and reduce the risk of malicious software distribution.

Why have these changes been implemented?

These changes help prevent account compromise and unauthorised mass emails in the event of a compromise.

Larger files should be shared through alternative methods like SharePoint or OneDrive.
