Good Advice.  Also on my lists, I usally

SET listname NOPOST NOMAIL for vacationer

Why?

So when they return, they don't send stupid posts to the list asking:

1) is the list dead?

2) why did you set me to NOMAIL?

3) other off-topic post

Somewhere along the line, they will contact the list-owner (listname-REQUEST) and ask/complain.  This gives me an opportunity to explain why they were "busted" and in-general, why I despise vacation programs.
