Hi, John.  I sure did.  Looks like the email is legit.  Lots of talk about it on the ezproxy listserv today, here's the archive: http://ls.suny.edu/read/?forum=ezproxy&sb=1

In short from those who have installed the new cert, there are no problems with IE but Firefox, Safari and Chrome are experiencing certificate warnings.  HTH

Subject: [CODE4LIB] ipsCA Certs

Out of curiosity, did anyone else using ipsCA certs receive notification 
that due to the coming expiration of their root CA (December 29,2009), 
they would need a reissued cert under a new root CA?

I am uncertain as to how this new Root CA will become a part of the 
browsers trusted roots without some type of user action including a 
software upgrade, but the following library website instructions lead me 
to believe that this is not going to be smooth.  http://bit.ly/53Npel

We are just about to go live with EZProxy in January with an ipsCA cert 
issued a few months ago, and I am not about to do that if I have serious 
browser support issue.
