[newbie] Can't set nomail!

2005-03-11 Thread Keith Powell
For various family reasons, things will be rather chaotic for the next 2-3 
weeks. Consequently I will not be doing any computing.

As I don't want hundreds of postings waiting for me when I am back on the 
computer, I have been trying to set nomail for both newbie and expert, 
following the instructions in the Sympa help file, but can't.

I have tried three different ways to set nomail, but none of them work - I am 
still getting all the postings.

I tried SET newbie NOMAIL in the body of the e-mail, with no subject: the 
same but with SET newbie NOMAIL also as the subject, and also with SET 
newbie|* NOMAIL in the body (both with and without a subject). 

This was repeated for the expert list.

I can't think of anything else to try :(

All were sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED], which I am certain is the 
correct address.

So, PLEASE can someone tell me where I am going wrong, and how to temporarily 
suspend the postings. I wonder if it is me, or if it is Sympa playing up?

Many thanks

Keith

[EMAIL PROTECTED] would be better...

Good luck!
