expired SSL certificate on gateway.EECS.Berkeley.EDU

by

gateway.EECS.Berkeley.EDU was offering an expired SSL certificate for outgoing SMTP service during the Monday October 21 16:59 PDT to Tuesday October 22 06:49 PDT time frame.

We regret the inconvenience.

Though a new SSL certificate was installed on gateway on October 1, 2013, not all the appropriate processes were restarted at that time.
