On Friday March 16th, between 8:30am-10:30am, the interactive mail servers
(staff.mail and student.mail) will be replaced.  Connectivity to the new
servers is available only via SSH2.

The following services will be offered on the new servers, pine email
client and tin usenet news client.

Telnet, rlogin, rsh and ssh1 will no longer be available.

This change is necessary due to DST updates and security considerations.

Please also note that due to an upgrade to the pine email client, it now
verifies for SSL certificates.  As the system does not recognize the
certificate for mypost.yorku.ca, it will give a warning.  If you wish to
bypass the warning you can change your config to:
inbox-path={mypost.yorku.ca/novalidate-cert}INBOX

and your folder collections to have:
Server: mypost.yorku.ca/novalidate-cert

Note that the system pine config file has been changed to have these
options so assuming you have never changed these options and have them
hardcoded in your personal config, it should work automatically.
