Hi :-)

I run a list which has a large portion of college students on it.  Rather
than have them (and me) suffer from enormous numbers of summertime /
graduation-related bounces and possibly unintentional deletions, I'd like
to set all the students to NOMAIL for the summer, and then send them
monthly notices starting in August to remind them how to reset their
account back to receive mail.

It's easy to practically all college students to NOMAIL by using

    set mylist nomail for *@*.edu*

right?  The question, though, is how to get back in touch with these
people when August rolls around.  I don't want to just do a blanket MAIL
set in August, because some people come back to school in late August,
others in late September.  Also, I want all college students to be able to
set their account to MAIL for the summer if they want to.

Any ideas?  Thanks for your help :)
