For anyone who is worried about being swamped by emails
over the holiday period, some helpful suggestions from
Mailbase (who host this list) follow.
If you're not going to be checking your email over the
holiday period, especially if you're on an ac.uk site which
tend to do maintenance work over vacations, it would be a
good idea to suspend mail (directions below) until you get
back. Remember to resume mail too (directions also below).
The wells-and-spas archive will contain all mailings as
usual, so you can catch up from there if you want to.
There's a link to the archive from the Email Discussion
List page on the Holy Wells Web

Mailbase and the Millennium
------------------------------
Mailbase is ready for the Year 2000, and we do not foresee any
problems which will affect our services to the education
community, although we will continue to maintain a high degree of
awareness during the final weeks of 1999.
We will be extending the queue timeout length to 14 days instead of the
usual 7, so messages will be held on the server for two weeks before
being returned to sender if delivery cannot be made.
The University of Newcastle, where Mailbase is based, will be closed
from Thursday, 23 December 1999 to Monday, 3 January 2000
(inclusive). The Mailbase service and list queues will monitored
during this time, but the Mailbase Helpline will not be staffed.

Other Sites
--------------
We CANNOT guarantee the continued operation of any other
site or mailhub. Some messages may not reach their intended
recipient because of problems at other sites.
--------------
List Members
--------------
List members may wish to temporarily suspend mail from their
lists over the holiday period, and we would recommend this if
your mail service will be shutting down over the holiday break.
