Gateway to the NetBSD Mail Server

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 WWW 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] 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. NOTE: For this function to work, your browser must support forms.

To obtain a mailing list archive click on the [VIEW ARCHIVE] link next to its name, in the description section of this page. This will place you in a directory on ftp.NetBSD.ORG. In that directory, there will be a set of files named by list name and archive sequence number. Those are the mailing list archives for that list. There will also be a file named info, which briefly describes the archive files' contents. NOTE: Use of this function depends on the availability of an FTP server. Your mileage may vary.

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.
