1.7 Data formats and email

The EAGCG will generally accept email correspondence. Certain transactions may require identification of an individual, which may preclude a transaction being conducted electronically. You should confirm requirements with the relevant area of the EAGCG.

The EAGCG will direct email replies to the email address from which the communication was sent unless an alternative email address or form of communications is specified (for example, in a relevant agreement between you and the EAGCG).

All electronic addresses of the EAGCG and its employees published on this Website are for business purposes only. The EAGCG and its employees do not consent to receiving unsolicited commercial electronic messages not directly related to the EAGCG’s business.

The EAGCG currently employs Microsoft Exchange Server and MS Outlook in its email system. These systems enable us to process the vast majority of modern email types and attachments. Attachment types can be in any standard format, including but not limited to MS Office, Word Perfect, JPG, GIF, BMP, MPEG, AVI.

The EAGCG employs an email content management system to scan all incoming and outgoing email. Please note that the receipt and dispatch of image and multimedia files is reviewed and may be blocked by the EAGCG’s system as they are received, should any issue regarding their content be raised. The receipt of all other attachment types is logged by the system for future reference if required.

Total incoming email message size (including headers and attachments) is limited to 50Mb. Encryption of attachments, if used, should be discussed with the intended recipient before sending, however, PGP or any self-extractive archive is preferred. Winzip is the standard for compression. For files larger than 10Mb, please contact the EAGCG Secretary for large file transfer options.
