=========================================
Going on Holiday?
=========================================
If you leave your work for an extended period over summer, and receive a
lot of email messages, your mailbox may fill up, and your email could stop
working. So before you go away you may wish to temporarily SUSPEND
messages from your Mailbase lists by sending this message to
[log in to unmask]
suspend mail all
stop
On your return, you can RESUME mail by sending this message to
[log in to unmask]
resume mail all
stop
For more information, see:
http://www.mailbase.ac.uk/docs/user-suspend.html
Remember, you can use the web archives to catch up on any messages you may
have missed at
http://www.mailbase.ac.uk/lists/dc-general/archive.html
Alternatively you can retrieve old email archives by email.
=========================================
Vacation Mailers
=========================================
Some people use a 'vacation mailer' which sends out an automatic reply to
all incoming mail.
Although a correctly configured vacation mailer should never send a
message to a discussion list, nor should it send more than one message to
the same address, we have had problems in the past where lists have been
flooded by these automatic messages.
So, if you are going to use a vacation mailer, PLEASE SUSPEND MAIL from
all Mailbase lists before you go on holiday.
=========================================
Leaving the list
=========================================
If you want to leave this list, please send a message to:
[log in to unmask]
with this text in the body of the message
leave dc-general
stop
=========================================
If the commands don't work
=========================================
If the SUSPEND or LEAVE command don't work, or you get an error message,
please contact the list owner(s) by sending a message to:
