IT

Network communications between the ILL and the internet are filtered.

Here are the procedures to follow to be able to connect or exchange data with the ILL from a computer outside the site.

1. Mail

Concerning experimental data, dedicated service are available.

Sending

Your correspondent in the ILL has an email address of this kind: login@ill.fr
The login is, generally, the person’s name. Most of the users also have an alias of this kind : firstname.familyname@ill.fr
An ILL staff phone book including email addresses can be found here.

Mails pass through the following filters (both directions: to and from the site):

• Anti-spam (Unsollicited Commercial Emails). Mails sent from known spammer sites or with a badly formed "from" field are refused.
• Antivirus. All mails are checked by an antivirus. If a virus is found, the receiver will receive the mail with a warning message and, if possible, the disinfected attachment. If disinfection is not possible, the attachment is removed from the mail. The sender is also warned of the presence of the virus.
• Size limited to 15 Mb. Note: an attached file occupies about 110 % of its normal size. An email passes through several relays before arriving at our site; some of these relays may have a lower limit than the ILL's.
