Try typing vacation instead of vaction. -----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Michael Sent: 30 July 2004 13:28 To: access Subject: [access-uk] vaction request Hi i am sure i followed the correct method to go no mail while i am away by putting the word request in the address and the word vaction followed by the number of days i want to go no mail for and i keep getting the following reply. Request received for list 'access-uk' via request address. >> vacation #37 '#37 ' is not a valid duration. Durations are: [<num> d] [<num> h] [<num> m] [<num> s] Since a valid command was found in the Subject field, your message body won't be checked for further commands. --- Ecartis v1.0.0 - job execution complete. What does this mean, can't i go no mail for more than 1 month or am i reading the reply wrong. Mickyfyn ** Going on holiday and want to halt messages?
