There will be a service outage to perform scheduled maintenance on the CS Dept. mail server ({imap,mail,mailhost,pop,smtp}.cs.brandeis.edu) tomorrow (April 10, 2009) from 14:00-15:00 (2:00-3:00 PM) EDT.

During the first 15 minutes of outage you will be unable to check for new mail, or send mail via the CS mail server. During the last 45 minutes of the outage you will be able to read existing mail, but will be unable to send or receive new mail. Mail received (either inbound or outbound) during this time will be spooled for delivery after the outage is complete. Under no circumstances should any mail be lost or otherwise not reach its intended recipient because of this outage.

If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact guru@cs.brandeis.edu. If you believe that the outage will prove an undue hardship for you at its currently scheduled time, please contact guru, and we will work with you to remedy the problem.

For information updates during the outage and after, you may check /etc/motd on all public shell servers, and guru’s website (http://www.cs.brandeis.edu/~guru/).
