Well summer will soon be apon us, and I would ask you to spare a 
thought for the managers who have to maintain the systems while
everybody else goes on holiday.

When someone is on holiday then they are not likely to be reading
their mail, and if there is alot of traffic, mailboxes can get filled
up, and this means mail gets bounced.

Some practical suggestions:

1) Clean out your mailbox before you go on holiday.
2) Make sure you have enough disk space to receive mail.
   We want to avoid DISK QUOTA FULL problems.
3) If you receive you messages from LISTSERV@IRLEARN, and if 
   you are leaving your university for good then send a
   SIGNOFF * (NETWIDE   to LISTSERV@IRLEARN
4) People on the LISTSERV distribution can also cancel the
   delivery of mail for a  period of time by giving the command
   SET +BIONEWS NOMAIL  which is a toggle to stop mail delivery
   to you mail box. When you want to turn the mail on once again
   give the command SET +BIONEWS MAIL
   Both these command should be sent to LISTSERV@IRLEARN and not
   to this list.

For your convenience here is a listing of the LISTS at LISTSERV@IRLEARN
which will respond to the SET NOMAIL command

SET +AGEING NOMAIL
SET AG+FORST NOMAIL
SET BIO+NAUT NOMAIL
SET +BIONEWS NOMAIL
SET +BIOTECH NOMAIL
SET BIO+CONV NOMAIL
SET BIO+JRNL NOMAIL
SET +BIOMATR NOMAIL
SET BIO+SOFT NOMAIL
SET EMBL+DB NOMAIL
SET +BIOJOBS NOMAIL
SET +GENBANK NOMAIL
SET GENE+ORG NOMAIL
SET GNOME+PR NOMAIL
SET +METHODS NOMAIL
SET MOL+EVOL NOMAIL
SET PIR+BB NOMAIL
SET POP+BIO NOMAIL
SET +PROTEIN NOMAIL
SET +RESEARC NOMAIL
SET SCI+RES NOMAIL
SET +SWISSPR NOMAIL

Taking these few precautions could save everyone from alot of trouble.
