Will my CSAIL account go away when I leave?

We understand that many CSAIL alumni continue to collaborate with their colleagues at the Lab after they graduate (or retire, or resign). For students and employees who leave CSAIL on favorable terms, we expect to maintain accounts for some time into the future. Provided that your account does not represent a security issue, and that your use of the account does not harm CSAIL's resources or reputation, we will maintain accounts and email forwarding indefinitely. In any case, we will not remove an old account without first checking with the user's former supervisor or faculty sponsor. Please note that it is your responsibility to inform us of any changes to your email forwarding, either by sending in a trouble ticket or (preferably) using the inquir-chfwd command from a CSAIL Debian machine. Please also be aware that alumni will be given a lower priority for help requests.
