Goodbye: "bf.noacsc.org"; Hello: blufftonschools.org"

Posted by Fred Steiner on August 2, 2011 - 5:44am

It will be easier to contact Bluffton school personnel via e-mail this year. The school switched from the difficult to type and remember "bf.noacsc.org" to "blufftonschools.org."

Mardy Herr, technical director of the schools, told The Icon that the school switched its domain name this summer.

"The old addresses will forward email from the old system until the end of September 2011. After that the new system will "alias" the old. That means that any emails sent to the old addresses will still show up in the new system," he said.
