:JHU is experiencing email issues with it's @jhu.edu mail services due to a global outage at Cisco.  This affects both incoming and outgoing email messages to external recipients.  It also impacts systems that send email through JHU's email gateways.  Expect major mail delays until this is fixed.  (We suspect that those with @jhu.edu addresses can still send and receive to others with @jhu.edu addresses.)
