Get the WHOIguest key

WHOIguest is a wireless network intended to allow your short-term
visitors to get online. Laptops brought here by visitors
need not be registered in order to connect. A weekly key
is published on the internal website linked above so that
you can give it to your visitor to use when connecting.
We ask that WHOI employees not use the network but reserve
it for visitors only. WHOI internal services (VPN, printing,
access to internal websites) are not available when connected
to the WHOIguest network for security reasons.

About
the Spam digest service 
CIS announces its Spam digest service, a daily personalized
list of messages that were blocked for your email account.
Because Spam rejection is an imperfect science, our intention
is to put the information regarding what we have blocked
for you into your hands. We also have developed more options
for viewing your list of rejected Spam.

Access incoming mail
at an External account 
If you have another email account (e.g., Google, Yahoo,
MSN), there may be times during which you prefer to monitor
your new WHOI email messages using an external account.
Add an additional address to your LDAP settings! Then, all
email sent to your WHOI email account will go to your other
account as well as your WHOI account.
