Mailing lists
Dovecot list
This is the main list for requesting help with Dovecot or talking about
it in general. Please use this list instead of sending mails directly to
the author.
Please read the following before posting to the mailing
list:
- Mention the Dovecot version number. Use
dovecot --version
to get it.
- Use
dovecot -n output when showing your configuration.
- It lists only the main settings in dovecot.org though, so if
you've a SQL/LDAP related problem get their configuration with
grep -v '^ *\(#.*\)\?$' dovecot-sql.conf
- Don't hijack threads. Don't post a new message by
replying to an existing message and just changing the subject. The
message will still have an In-Reply-To header, which messes up message
threading.
- Read the bug reports page before posting
a bug report. If you don't include the necessary information in your
mail, it's only going to take longer to solve your problem. Especially
with crashes please try your best to get a gdb backtrace.
- Don't bother asking questions about v0.99.x versions. They're no
longer supported.
- You can post to the list without subscribing, the mail then waits in a
moderator queue for a while.
Yes, I've
read the above and I want to post to the list.

You can get access to the IMAP archives by using
dovecot.org as the hostname,
anonymous as the username and an empty password. It's
also possible to use ANONYMOUS authentication mechanism if your client
supports it (few do).
News list
This is a low traffic list where new release announcements and other
important announcements are sent to. All such mails are also sent to
dovecot-list, so there's no need to subscribe to both of them.
Mercurial commits list
All Mercurial commit changes are sent to this mailing list. You can think
of it as a real time ChangeLog. The list name is still confusingly
dovecot-cvs, although the changes are coming from the Mercurial
repository.
