Using
an email auto-responder or out-of-office replies while on vacation,
without changing your list subscription options,
may result in your email address being “served
out” from
all NACADA LISTSERV lists. Being “served
out”
simply means that all future messages sent to any of the lists
from your address will be rejected until a
list owner or administrator restores your account.This
occurs because LISTSERV automatically detects messages that appear
to be auto replies and after receiving multiple copies automatically
serves out the sending address.
Problems with listserv mail delivery
during absences, such as going on vacation, can easily be addressed
by temporarily changing your list email delivery options. The MAIL/NOMAIL
command can be used to temporarily change your delivery settings
without having to leave and rejoin lists.
Turn
off mail delivery during absences
To
turn off mail from a particular list, from
the e-mail address used to subscribe to the listserv list,
send an e-mail to listserv@listserv.ksu.edu using
the following command in the body of the message (where listname is
the list's ID):
SET listname NOMAIL Example: SET
ADVTRANSFER NOMAIL
Leave the subject line blank. Be sure
to delete any signature lines and/or turn off auto-inclusion of
your signature file before sending the above command. (LISTSERV
treats signature lines as commands and will send error messages
saying "unknown command".)
Restore mail delivery
To restore
your list email delivery upon your return to the office, from
the e-mail address used to subscribe to the listserv list(s),
send an e-mail to listserv@listserv.ksu.edu using
the following command in the body of the message (where listname is
the list's ID):
SET listname MAIL Example: SET
ADVTRANSFER MAIL
Leave the subject line blank. Be sure
to delete any signature lines and/or turn off auto-inclusion of
your signature file before sending the above command. (LISTSERV
treats signature lines as commands and will send error messages
saying "unknown command".)
