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. 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.
