= Mailing Lists =

We generally discuss SpamAssassin and its development via the following mailing lists.
Where available, there is a graph which shows you how much mail you should expect to hit your inbox if you subscribe.


== Announce ==

For announcements of new versions of SpamAssassin.

 * Subscription: send mail to '''announce-subscribe -at- spamassassin.apache.org'''

== Users ==

A general user list. Please post your questions to this list. Developers and members of the PMC monitor this list and answer questions as time permits.

''Note: before you submit a question to the mailing list, please thoroughly read the FrequentlyAskedQuestions list and other info on the FrontPage, as your question is likely already answered there. If you've looked carefully but still can't find your answer, then go ahead and post -- but be sure to note''
 * ''how you're invoking SpamAssassin (options are in UsingSpamAssassin),''
 * ''what version of SpamAssassin you're using, and''
 * ''your platform.''
''Please don't ask questions about versions older than 2.64 and 3.0.0, as you don't want to use an old version for the same reason you wouldn't use an out-of-date anti-virus scanner.''

== Dev ==

For those involved in the development effort to discuss their work on the project. Unless you are working on a patch to SpamAssassin, this is probably not a list you need to use. If you're not already on the general users list, you should probably go there first ;)

== Security Issues ==

We treat security-related issues specially.  If you believe you have discovered a security issue related to SpamAssassin, please send a mail to '''security -at- spamassassin.apache.org''' with full details.

== Private Lists ==

The project management committee maintains a private list, used for a very limited subset of discussions that cannot take place in public.  This is not open for public subscription, but is documented here for completeness and transparency. See ProjectRoles for more details on what this list is used for.

== Search Across Lists ==

You can also search and browse a [[http://spamassassin.markmail.org|unified view of all SpamAssassin mailing lists]]. 

= Other Ways of Communication =

[[IRC]] is also an option.
