Dear all
Seasonal greetings from your list-owner! I've found this list very
informative and helpful over the year, and I hope you have too.
Mailbase does not expect any Y2K problems but you may wish to temporarily
suspend mail from your lists over the holiday period, and Mailbase
recommend this if your mail service will be shutting down over the holiday
break.
Send this message to [log in to unmask]
suspend mail all
When you want to start receiving email again, send this message
to [log in to unmask]
resume mail all
Also a reminder that if you are away and set an auto-response to messages,
PLEASE suspend your mail first (or I get all the auto-response messages).
Inevitably I do still get quite a bit of returned mail when people's local
providers are managing a less than perfect service. Some periodic offenders
I now know quite well but I generally operate a '2 sequential strikes and
you're out' policy. If you appear to have been kicked off the list, which
you can check on the web page (I won't have been able to tell you by
definition since your e-mail won't have been working!) you can simply
rejoin - until the next time - and complain to your provider.
Best wishes
Roland
