On Friday, April 28, morning ECE Computing Facilities will be releasing
a change to the startup scripts for the mail daemon on supported
machine.

The purpose of this update is change the default state for desktop
machines from running a mail server to having that particular service
shut down.  Machines that are in our database as having active users
receiving mail on them will continue to run the service, all others
will be shutdown.  If you have mail forwarded to a machine from sites
other that Facilities is not aware of you the service will be shutdown.
If this happens please send e-mail to gripe@ece.cmu.edu and we'll do
everything we can to correct the situation.

This change is a continuation of our efforts to prevent sites from
relaying Unsolicitied Commercial E-Mail, aka SPAM, through ECE
machines.  We apologize for any inconvenience it might cause.  If
you experience any problems or have any questions please feel free
to contact us via gripe@ece.cmu.edu

thanx
