hi,

i've made a couple of changes to how email works on the toolserver, mainly that
each account now has an associated email address in LDAP.  i haven't added such
an address for existing accounts, but if you want to, you can set your email
address by running 'setmail'.  your account's email address takes precedence
over $HOME/.forward for email to <username>@toolserver.org.

if you don't want to do this, you can continue to use the old .forward-style
mail forwarding.  however, if you don't set an email address in LDAP, you won't
be able to make use of future services which might use this, such as
automatically resetting your SSH key or LDAP password.

to emphasise: you do not *need* to do anything because of this change if you
don't want to.  if you do nothing, your account will continue to work as
before.

	- river.
