I'm also stuck with exchange. But when I return in the office I would like to see the list-messages. Sending a NOMAIL an MAIL to the sas-l will hide these messages from me.

Then perhaps such users can take the time to un-subscribe and then re-subsribe upon their return to the office. Wouldn't that solve the problem? it would not take much more time than it takes them to turn their autoresponder on.
