Mailing lists

There are currently five mailing lists of interest. All lists are public, and all are publicly archived. This is normal practice for open-source projects, and you should be aware that all email sent to one of these addresses will be visible to the world:

  • The spambayes-announce list - a very low volume mailing list announcing new releases. This is a moderated mailing list: all postings to this list are subject to a human moderator's review before they're sent to the list. The moderator will reject off-topic messages.
  • The spambayes user list. General discussions and user queries go here. (This was also the developer list until late May, 2003). This list is not moderated, although "unusual" messages may get held automatically, for moderator review. For example, very large messages are held for review, and the moderator may reject such messages, asking you to trim their size.
  • The spambayes developers list spambayes-dev. This list is for discussion of spambayes development. Please don't use this for user questions ("how do I make SB work with Outlook version X?"), use the "spambayes" list for that. This list is also unmoderated.
  • Subversion commit messages go to the list spambayes-checkins. You shouldn't send email to this list; a program running at SourceForge automatically creates and sends emails to this list as a result of code checkins.
  • Sourceforge tracker items (bugs, feature requests and patches) go to the list spambayes-bugs. You shouldn't send email to this list; a program running at SourceForge automatically creates and sends emails to this list as a result of changes made to tracker items.

Submitting a bug report

All SpamBayes bugs are maintained in this page at sourceforge. Please have a check of the bugs already reported to see if your bug has already been reported.  If not, open a new bug. Please ensure you attach the log file or traceback to the bug.
If you are unsure about the bug, or need any assistance, please send a mail.

Send a mail

If all else fails, you may want to send someone a mail. Your mail should be sent to the SpamBayes mailing list (spambayes@python.org) Please do not mail any of the contributors directly (see "good karma" below).
Please ensure this mail contains:
  • which operating system (and the version, if applicable) you are using
  • the version of SpamBayes
  • any log files or traceback.
The more detailed you are about what has gone wrong, and what you have already tried to do to fix it, the more likely you are to get answered! (And if you can subscribe to this mailing list and help answer other questions, good karma will come your way!)
