@ch.cam.ac.uk email addresses

The Department has its own mail domain. This domain provides aliases only. In other words, we can set up addresses which end in @ch.cam.ac.uk and which deliver to some existing mailbox such as an Exchange Online account. An example alias address is the IT helpdesk address support@ch.cam.ac.uk . Using an alias address means it is easy to change where emails are delivered to without having to change the published address. An alias address can also often be chosen to be something easier to remember than the target email address. It is possible for an alias to deliver to more than one address.

If you would like an email alias setting up for a project, role, or group in the department please contact support@ch.cam.ac.uk telling us what you would like the alias to be and giving the list of email addresses it should forward to. Requests for changes to an alias should also be sent to support@ch.cam.ac.uk.

Aliases can be created for staff registered in the department if required. Such aliases should support the identity under which academic research is carried out and would ordinarily consist of family name preceded by forenames, initials or a combination - a.b.smith@..., alex.brian.smith@... or alex.b.smith@... for example. Please note that email addresses consisting of a single word or name (i.e. without punctuation) before the @ symbol are considered reserved for departmental use. No guarantees about availability can be made. 

The Chemistry mail domain is provided by the UIS Managed Mail Domain service.
