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.
Please note that to reduce spam and improve accessibility, NetBSD mailing lists only accept plain text email, which many email clients don't send by default. The Use Plaintext Email website has advice on configuring various email clients to use plain text.
To unsubscribe from a mailing list send an email message to
<majordomo@NetBSD.org> containing
only the message unsubscribe listname.
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.

netbsd-users:
This list provides a general help forum where users can discuss
using NetBSD, regardless of platform. As a large number of
subscribers receive this list, please use your good judgement
when posting. Technical discussion related to the development
and design of NetBSD itself aren't appropriate on this list and
are better voiced in a more narrowly-focused technical list.
