Christine,
Can I suggest that you (as UKeiG Main contact point, administration and membership) post an official message? There are people on this list who expect 99% of messages to be relevant to them personally. Perhaps they will listen to you when they will not listen to others. Please:
1. Explain that many messages on a listserver are important to only a few people, but they are still good messages.
2. Explain how to unsubscribe.
3. Suggest that netiquette demands people unsubscribe temporarily before setting up an out-of-house message.
4. Explain why people are getting unexpected messages, i.e., the listserver default is set (wrongly in my opinion) to send all out-of-house messages and similar rubbish to everyone, not just to the poster of a message.
