My director just forwarded the below message to me.
No idea what clicking the URL would do. I haven't ever seen this
particular approach before, so am passing it along with his permission.

Attention!

  On October 16, 2009 server upgrade will take place. Due to this the
system may be offline for approximately half an hour.
The changes will concern security, reliability and performance of mail
service and the system as a whole. 
For compatibility of your browsers and mail clients with upgraded server
software you should run SSl certificates update procedure.
 This procedure is quite simple. All you have to do is just to click the
link provided, to save the patch file and then to run it from your
computer location. That's all.

possible inconveniences.
