Red Hat uses mailman - which allows you to suspend delivery, and lets
you suspend delivery for *all* redhat lists you are subscribed to at
once.
Another option is .Mac - at the beginning of this month, I went to
Disneyland for just over a week - and my .Mac account did not fill up (I
checked periodically so I could suspend delivery if it did).
gmail also has a lot of space, but they seem to do funny stuff with
headers that mess up threads sometimes - so I don't use it anymore. It
also did some funny stuff where messages I sent weren't in the thread.
.Mac, while not free, doesn't mess with stuff.
