7.1 How do I turn mail delivery on or off?
(delivery option)
</H2>
<P>
You may wish to temporarily stop getting messages from the
list without having to unsubscribe.
If you disable mail delivery, you will no longer receive messages, but will
still be a subscriber and will retain your password and other settings.
<P>
This can be handy in a many different cases. For example, you could be
going on vacation or need a break from the list because you're too busy to
read any extra mail.
Many mailing lists also allow only subscribers to post to the list, so if you
commonly send mail from more than one address (eg, one address for at home
and another for when you're travelling), you may want to have more than
one subscribed account, but have only one of them actually receive mail.
You can also use this as a way to read private archives even on a list which
may be too busy for you to have sent directly to your mailbox. All you need to do is subscribe, disable mail delivery, and use your password and email to
log in to the archives.
<P>
To disable/enable mail delivery using the web interface:
<OL>
<LI>Log in to your options page. (See Section <A HREF="node9.html#sec:web">3.1</A> for instructions.)
</LI>
<LI>Go down to the section marked ``Mail delivery'' and select ``Disabled''
to stop receiving mail, and ``Enabled'' to start receiving mail.
</LI>
</OL>
<P>
This can also be changed for multiple lists at the same time if you are subscribed to
more than one list on the same domain. See Section <A HREF="node34.html#sec:global">10.1</A> for
information about changing settings globally.
<P>
To disable/enable mail delivery using the email interface:
<OL>
<LI>Send a mail to <span class="email">LISTNAME-request@DOMAIN</span> with the command
<var>set delivery off</var> or <var>set delivery on</var>.
<P>
Commands can appear
in either the body or the subject of the message. (See
Section <A HREF="node10.html#sec:email">3.2</A> for more information about sending mail
commands.)
</LI>
<LI>Set it to ``off'' to stop receiving posts, and ``on'' to start
receiving them again.
</LI>
</OL>
