Pat, you need the NOMAIL option.  A user who wants to stop getting mail
  temporarily from a list should send a message to the appropriate
  LISTSERV saying:  set <listname> nomail
 
  Thus, for Autocat which is at ubvm.cc.buffalo.edu
    a subscriber should send a message to: [log in to unmask]
    saying: set autocat nomail
 
    To resume receiving mail the subscriber  should send a message
     to the same address saying:   set <listname> mail    or
     if the user wants a digest:   set <listname> digest
 
  You, as a listowner, can also set an account to NOMAIL by sending
    a message to the listserv saying:
     set <listname> nomail for <userid@node>   (without the brackets)
 
     You can also set the user to MAIL or to DIGEST using the same syntax.
