This is a default bit of mail sent to news users at utzoo. Its a good idea.

It would be wise to change your password;  your current one is too easy
to guess.  To change your password, type "password" and answer its questions.

To defeat attempts at guessing your password and attempts at finding it
by simply trying all possibilities, it preferably should be at least
six characters long, should not be an English word, and should not be
an obvious possibility such as your name, your spouse's name, your licence
plate number, the species name of your experimental animals, etc.

This is not meant to alarm you;  access to this system is fairly well
controlled, and malicious users are not common.  But anyone who knows
our number can connect to the system by phone line, and it is better to be
safe than sorry.  You have only yourself to blame if an easy-to-guess
password leads to loss of privacy, loss of data, or extra expense.

The '?' or '??' you are about to see is 'mail' asking whether it should
file this letter;  reply 'y' for 'yes, file it', 'n' for 'no, discard it',
file this letter;  reply 'y' for 'yes, file it', 'n' for 'no, discard it',
