If you will be unable to collect your e-mail for several weeks (due to holidays, etc), we recommend strongly that you unsubscribe yourself from the automated mailing list, not only to avoid returning to a full mailbox, but also to ensure that repeated out-of-office autoresponse messages being sent to the mailing lists.
