Help, I'm leaving town on vacation and I have to stop the list mail temporarily!
(aka How do I change to NoMail while I'm out of town or busy with work/finals/real life, etc.?)
Similar to changing to digest, you can change to no mail at the list's website if it has one or by email command if the list is hosted at Yahoogroups or Smartgroups by sending a command by email.
For the YahooGroups and Smartgroups email commands, read on.
If the list is hosted at Topica, you'll need to visit their website (www.Topica.com) to change to NoMail. Or if the list is hosted on another service, you'll need the specific info for that list. Check the Welcome message, contact the listowner or ask, always politely, :) on list.
