if you put

.QQ

as the first line then.. LISTSERV will stop reading that part of the template and and
not send the default or list message in the template: [from the 1.8d listowner manual]:

    ".QQ Cancels the message. LISTSERV stops reading the
    template form and does not send anything. This is useful if
    you want to completely remove a particular message; note
    however that this can be confusing with certain commands, as
    LISTSERV may say "Notification is being sent to the list
    owners" when in fact nothing will be sent because of the .QQ
    command in the template form."
