You can perfectly be out of the office and still read mail. I do iot
regularly. But I don't know of any mailer who sends DSN's out without
the users consent. If you have one that does I would suggest to throw it
out as fast as you can. What else is that mailer sending out without you
knowing? And perhaps even through obscure routes no mailscanner or
anything else can detect.
