NetBSD mailing lists
The NetBSD Project provides a variety of public mailing lists to
facilitate communication between the users and developers of NetBSD.
All of the mailing lists are served by the
Majordomo mailing list management package,
and you can find out more about how to use the NetBSD Project's
Majordomo by mailing
<majordomo@NetBSD.org> with an empty message body.
Using this page, you can find out what the various mailing lists are for, look at the mailing list archives, and even subscribe to the mailing lists themselves. This page is broken up into three sections: this introductory section; an index of the mailing lists for quick reference; and the descriptions of the mailing lists, along with links to allow you to look at their archives and subscribe to them.
-
To subscribe to a mailing list click on the
![[subscribe]](../images/misc/envelope.gif)
link next to its name, in the description section of this page. You will
then have to fill out a form, to supply your e-mail address.
-
To unsubscribe from a mailing list send an email
message from the address by which you are subscribed to mailto:majordomo@NetBSD.org containing
only the message
unsubscribe listname. -
To view a web archive of a mailing list click on the
![[view archive]](../images/misc/tape.gif)
link next to its name, in the description section of this page. This will
take you to the mail archive server mail-index.NetBSD.org.
An alternative index of our mailing lists is available at
MARC.
-
To read the list through a news frontend click on the
![[newsgroup]](../images/misc/news.gif)
link next to its name, in the description section of this
page. This will take you to the usenet archive http://www.gmane.org/.
Please note that while the majority of the NetBSD mailing lists are normally unmoderated, there are circumstances which will occasionally cause a mailing list to be moderated by its manager. Mails longer than 40KB or mails with HTML attachments will get blocked and eventually rejected by the mailing list owners.
Note
Any and all posts to our mailing lists are archived across the internet virtually forever and are impossible for us to remove. Please consider any content, including the email address used to post to the list, as public information. (You may also wish to consider this when engaging in personal conversations with other members on the public mailing lists.)
Indexes and archives are provided by http://mail-index.NetBSD.org/ and MARC.
