1. Registrar load of students
2. Payroll load of employees
3. UPHS load of employees
4. Manual submission of a Guest record by your department's PennCommunity administrator

Your email address is your login name combined with your domain name joined with the @ ("at") symbol. Since there are multiple domains hosted on these email servers, you may have a number of possible email addresses.

Following are recommendations that ISC makes for which email address you should use. Please check with your LSP or account administrator to see which email address is preferred by your department. It is most important that your email address match expectations of other users on the system. If another user is trying to find calendar information for you, he/she may not be able to find it if you are listed in the Global Address List (GAL) as pennuser@upenn.edu and your correspondent is looking for info for pennuser@design.upenn.edu.

1. If your organization has its own domain that is being supported for email, please use that address for your email as shown above. Individuals and group accounts can use the organization's domain. In addition to the email address based on your department's domain, individuals can also use pennuser@upenn.edu. We will also continue to support pennuser@pobox.upenn.edu for accounts that were created prior to 2008.
   
   

   LSPs: If you wish to use your own domain for email addresses, you must first register a third-level domain name. Once you have a registered domain name and wish us to support your domain name for addressing, please contact the ProDesk.

   
   
   
2. If your department does not have its own domain, individuals can use pennuser@upenn.edu or pennuser@pobox.upenn.edu but group accounts must use groupaccount@pobox.upenn.edu. In compliance with the NPC policy on the use of the upenn.edu namespace, group accounts do not get a upenn.edu address.
   
   
3. While the machine names zimbra.upenn.edu and exchange.upenn.edu could be used for your email address, we discourage using these domains for your advertised email address. These names reflect the underlying software used for the email services and they would change if we change our software.
   
   
4. We will continue to support dolphin.upenn.edu for students who had accounts on our systems prior to 2008 but moving forward we strongly suggest that you use the domain for your school. dolphin.upenn.edu is likely to be retired at some future date. We will give one year's notice before discontinuing the name.
