An electronic message within which harmful code has been detected, shall not be processed. The term ‘harmful message’ involves computer viruses, illegible and unprintable messages, unsolicited commercial emails (spams, phishing), etc. If the electronic address of the sender can be read from the electronic message, a notice of the problem detected is sent to the address, however, unsolicited commercial emails (spams and phishing) will not be responded to.

It is advisable to mention the abbreviation of the TBU component part, or the relevant position, e.g. FT, Dean of FAI, Rector, etc. for ease of identification of the TBU component part or relevant organizational unit. This will speed up the process of delivery to the staff in charge.
