Hello fellow listers...
This is just a reminder. If you are going away for the holidays for
more than just a few days, you probably should consider temporarily
unsubbing from the email lists that you subscribe to. Here's why...
Depending on how many lists you are a subscriber and the volume of mail
each list generates daily, combined with non-list mail you receive, you
may exceed the amount of space [usually only 2 meg] that your email
provider allows you in which to accumulate email until your next access
[download]. Being away just a few days with no email access can cause
your mailbox to become full. It makes no difference whether you are
subscribed to the list mode or the digest mode. All email sent to you
from then on will bounce and you may not receive that very important
email you were looking for from someone else.
Once your email box is full, mail to your address from email lists will
also begin to bounce. After several bounces, the system will
automatically unsub you. In the meantime, the list owner's mailbox is
clogged with these bounced/unsub notifications that are automatically
sent. Your listowner may also be away for the holidays and can't access
their email...and these bounced notices taking up their email webspace
may cause your listowner not receive all their important email.
SO....to help everyone & stop the automatic domino effect of lost email,
please remember to unsub from your email lists before you leave!!!!
