"Please seriously consider turning off all autoresponders or unsubscribing
if you will be out of the office."
Is it now feasible to unsubscribe and then quickly resubscribe to the CCIE
Routing and Switching Lab mailing list?
There used to be a need to get approved before you could join and post
messages to this particular list, and approval often involved a considerable
wait. If it is now possible to simply subscribe and unsubscribe with
instructions to the server, that would be worth knowing.
Thanks,
