Vermont Business Magazine All State of Vermont email addresses will be changing today, Monday, July 27, 2015 from [email protected] to [email protected]. The reason for the change is to enhance security on state-owned email addresses, and all associated communications from the State. Email addressed using the old [email protected] address format will continue to be received until August 2016.
If you have a [email protected] email address there is no action you need to take to start receiving and sending mail using the @vermont.gov address.
Email addresses from @partner.state.vt.us will also change on July 27, 2015 to @partner.vermont.gov.
Email addresses for the Legislature (from @leg.state.vt.us) and the Secretary of State (from sec.state.vt.us) will not be changing at this time.
Starting on July 27, 2015 the email address that will appear as the "From" address from State of Vermont email addresses will be [email protected]. State partner emails will be [email protected]
One reason for the change is the "@us" (@state.vt.us) domain will no longer be dedicated to federal and state government entities, whereas the @gov (@vermont.gov) domain will continue to be reserved strictly for such entities.
State agencies and departments will be updating email signatures, letterhead, business cards, agency/department websites, and other public documentation after the effective date to help promote awareness of the change.
