Mailing lists
The FreeBSD Project runs a number of Internet mailing
lists dedicated to the discussion of FreeBSD and
related topics. Users with access to Internet mail are
encouraged to subscribe to the lists that interest them
and ask questions. The procedure is quite simple, just
send a mail message to:
majordomo@freebsd.org
with a message body of:
subscribe listname
where listname is one of the lists described
below. You can subscribe to multiple lists with a
single message by having several subscribe
lines. For more detailed information, send a message
to:
majordomo@freebsd.org
with a message body of
