so what is the advantage of this? In both cases you have to send
2 emails - start & end holiday. The only difference I see is that
you have to remember only 2 commands with majordomo compared to
at least 4 with mailman.
If it was a problem for me I would make 2 scripts, unsusbscribe-lists
and resubscribe-lists that would do that for all the lists I am
listenning.
Luckilly I have a procmail cappable account so I don't care
about this.
