	If you want to "suspend" a list, instead of
	kill a list, it would be more polite to send
	a note, rather than causing a bounce.

	There is a script with the package that you
	use on the list before it is open.
	I think it is called newlist.

	You could modify this to be "closedlist" and
	have it report a message back saying the
	list is temporarily closed.
