I think you may have jumped the gun. That's not even remotely what the OP 
was suggesting.

AIUI he was asking if launchpad could suspend sending people mail for a 
while, not send an "I'm not here" bounce. Surely this is a good idea? If I 
go away from my machine for more than a day I get hundreds of mails backing 
up. It would be great to be able to suspend this with one button press in 
launchpad, and not have to unsubscribe from a load of teams, and then 
resubscribe again when I get back.

Cheers,
