Give me some time. Just because this is not a default action of
ezmlm, does not mean it's impossible to do. Using ezmlm+qmail makes
it very extensible, and I can likely figure out a way to make this
work.

Well, to me, being on "vacation" (as you described it) is a way to
turn off mail while you're not going to be checking it. I fail to see
how unsubscribing then re-subscribing is anymore difficult than
sending a mail to sympa to disable/enable messages.

As for the issue of non-subscribers posting, you can toggle this in
ezmlm. And I will work on a system where you can be subscribed
without receiving mail also.

It can be for the recipients as well; it all depends on the admin of
the list.
