Sure there is... Just subscribe then sent a message to LISTSERV@gerry.vanagon.com with the content SET VANAGON NOMAIL. To quote the lsoft manual for listserv: Options that may be set Mail/NOMail Setting this option to Mail indicates that you will receive mail from the list. NOMail is the complementary command that stops mail but leaves you subscribed to the list. (NOMail is often a good compromise for users who are leaving the office for vacation or on extended business trips, and who don't want a full mailbox on their return.) The format of the messages received is controlled by the DIGEST/INDEX/NODIGEST/NOINDEX options (see below). Please note, if you use an auto-responder while on vacation without setting your subscription options to NOMail, your "vacation" messages may bounce back to LISTSERV and you may be "served off" from LISTSERV when you return. This is because LISTSERV will be unable to process the message from your auto-responder and will consider it an error. Being "served off" simply means that any commands you send to LISTSERV will be ignored until someone else sends a SERVE command on your behalf. See Appendix E for more information about the SERVE command.
note: SEND THE NOMAIL COMMAND TO <mailto:listserv@gerry.vanagon.com> NOT THE LIST!!! Jim Arnott (Tom's invisible helper...) |
