Below is how you stop your TechNet email while you are gone. DO NOT use your auto responder! You could get logged-off by the list administrator, which then you may have to go through the hassle of getting subscribed again. Below is what I pasted from IPC's web page from the page of IPC online resources... -Steve Gregory- All you do is send a email as below...don't put anything in the subject box, and in the body of the message just type: SET TechNet nomail Then when you get back, do the same thing but in the body of the message type: SET TechNet mail That's it! Example: TO:[log in to unmask] SUBJECT: MESSAGE:SET TechNet nomail Please note that the commands, addresses and forum names are not case sensitive, and you can send as many commands as you need in one message as long as they are on separate lines. Mail/Nomail Setting the NOMail option stops mail from the forum to you, but leaves you subscribed to the list. NOMail is often used by subscribers who are leaving the office for vacation or an extended business trip, and do not want a full mailbox when they return. For example, to temporarily disable mail delivery from TechNet to your address, send the following command: SET TechNet NOMAIL 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 the mail list and you may be "served off" from the forum when you return. This is because the server 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 mail list will be ignored until the forum administrator restores your normal status. ############################################################## TechNet Mail List provided as a free service by IPC using LISTSERV 1.8c ############################################################## To subscribe/unsubscribe, send a message to [log in to unmask] with following text in the body: To subscribe: SUBSCRIBE TECHNET <your full name> To unsubscribe: SIGNOFF TECHNET ############################################################## Please visit IPC web site (http://www.ipc.org/html/forum.htm) for additional information.
