VACATION MODE:
To enable vacation mode, send the following command in the body of an e-mail to the
Gazelle server at LISTNAME-commands@hades.listmoms.net, where "LISTNAME" is the name of the list on which you want to suspend mail:
set vacation resume=YYYYMMDD
...where "YYYYMMDD" is the date on which you want mail delivery to resume. For example, to
resume mail delivery on 15 March 2012 (March 15, 2012), you would send the following command:
set vacation resume=20120315
You may add spaces around the "=" sign if you prefer:
set vacation resume = 20120315
Note that single-digit month and day numbers are always zero-padded. So, New Year's Day 2010
looks like this:
set vacation resume=20100101
...and the Ides of March 2009 looks like this:
set vacation resume=20090315
A Note About Date Formats
Yes, Gazelle's "yyyymmdd" current date format is confusing for humans. It is easily parsed by a machine, though, which is why it was selected for the initial release. If there is sufficient demand, then a more human-friendly date format may be added in a future release.
