How to Configure Pine to Read and Send Email
Remotely on Receptor

Install Pine 4.63 on your desktop computer . You can download Pine 4.63 for OSX from the OSXGNU Archive.
Pine for Windows, Linux and Unix is available from the University of Washington.

Pine is already available for use on receptor. Use ssh to connect to receptor from on quad.

Edit the .pinerc file to reference your mail folders on receptor. You should set up two (2) folder collections

1. Your mail folders on receptor:
   {receptor.med.harvard.edu/ssl/novalidate-cert/user=your_username}[]
2. Your local (on this computer) mail folders:
   local mail/[]

Your primary mail folders are the set that is listed first.

Enter the Pine Configuration Menu. This will happen automatically the first time you start Pine.

If you are already using Pine, type S for Setup from the Main Menu.

Set the smtp-server to
receptor.med.harvard.edu/tls/user=your_email/novalidate-cert

Set the inbox-path to
receptor.med.harvard.edu/ssl/user=your_email/novalidate-cert
and the Inbox name to inbox

Type E to Exit Setup and Yes to save your changes.

/novalidate-cert is required because Pine does not recognize the Harvard Certificate that receptor uses. If you want to be sure you're connecting to receptor,

• configure Pine first without the /novalidate-cert option
• connect to receptor and check the certificate
• re-enter Setup and add /novalidate-cert to your smtp-server and inbox-path configurations
