We do too, but also NOPOST.  I.e., when we "suspend" distributions for
offenders e.g., OOOers, we set both since this allows us to: prevent
useless messages from said subscriber back to the list "why aren't I
receiving" (they get a automated LISTSERV(R) nastygram to which they will
typically mailto:OWNER-listname@listhost); also allows us to later
interrogate subscription options and realize that we (the list-owners)
had set NOMAIL/NOPOST for a previous e-mail "problem"  (I sometimes call
this a "message under a rock").

YMMV
