Depends on how long you'll be gone, what provisions you have to receive
mail while away (i.e. can you just let it accumulate in your mailbox?),
whether you want to *read* what has transpired while you were away, etc.

You could let it accumulate in your mailbox.  You could unsubscribe
before leaving (please use the right address and don't post your
unsubscribe directly to the *list*!  :>).  You could set up a
.forward to pass the stuff along to you (if you'll be at a different
email address).  You could set up a .forward to archive the mail
to a specific file (if your mailbox is on a small partition or
has other rules governing it's size, etc.)

Try "which".  Remember:  majordomo@freebsd.org for administrative
requests.

Have a good time (wherever you're going!)
