I'm pleased to report that our operations guys have updated the EINet listserv from version 5.5 to 6.0. This version suppresses the automatic responses that were being generated by the vacation programs to the general list. This is accomplished by the inclusion of the "Precedence: bulk" in the mail headers. For those of you who have come to rely on the all-iceimt distribution list as a groupware calendar program-- my regrets. :)
There are also new features associated with version 6.0. One of them is the ability to postpone delivery of messages. If you are going on vacation, etc. and want to temporarily suspend all-iceimt, just do the following:
send e-mail to: listserv@einet.net (subject field is ignored, include in the body) set all-iceimt mail postpone
When you return send the listserv the message:
set all-iceimt mail ack
