TARGET USER:
user of the Italian "cluster" at DESY having an AFS account.

Since several years, DESY provides central mail servers as mail relay for outgoing messages and as mail repository for incoming messages.

Due to security reasons it is now mandatory to use the central mail server instead of using any other local machine. At the same time, it is requested to open a secure socket layer (SSL) connection when accessing any of the central mail servers at DESY as an "Incoming Mail Server".
