The MySQL Mailing Lists
.......................

To subscribe to the main MySQL mailing list, send a message to the
electronic mail address <mysql-subscribe@lists.mysql.com>.

To unsubscribe from the main MySQL mailing list, send a message to the
electronic mail address <mysql-unsubscribe@lists.mysql.com>.

Only the address to which you send your messages is significant.  The
subject line and the body of the message are ignored.

If your reply address is not valid, you can specify your address
explicitly.  Adding a hyphen to the subscribe or unsubscribe command
word, followed by your address with the `@' character in your address
replaced by a `='.  For example, to subscribe `your_name@host.domain',
send a message to
`mysql-subscribe-your_name=host.domain@lists.mysql.com'.

Mail to <mysql-subscribe@lists.mysql.com> or
<mysql-unsubscribe@lists.mysql.com> is handled automatically by the
ezmlm mailing list processor.  Information about ezmlm is available at
The ezmlm Website (http://www.ezmlm.org).

To post a message to the list itself, send your message to
`mysql@lists.mysql.com'.  However, please _do not_ send mail about
subscribing or unsubscribing to <mysql@lists.mysql.com>, because any
mail sent to that address is distributed automatically to thousands of
other users.

Your local site may have many subscribers to <mysql@lists.mysql.com>.
If so, it may have a local mailing list, so that messages sent from
`lists.mysql.com' to your site are propagated to the local list.  In
such cases, please contact your system administrator to be added to or
dropped from the local MySQL list.

If you wish to have traffic for a mailing list go to a separate mailbox
in your mail program, set up a filter based on the message headers.
You can use either the `List-ID:' or `Delivered-To:' headers to identify
list messages.

The following MySQL mailing lists exist:

`<announce-subscribe@lists.mysql.com> announce'
     This is for announcement of new versions of MySQL and related
     programs.  This is a low volume list all MySQL users should
     subscribe to.

`<mysql-subscribe@lists.mysql.com> mysql'
     The main list for general MySQL discussion.  Please note that some
     topics are better discussed on the more-specialized lists.  If you
     post to the wrong list, you may not get an answer!

`<mysql-digest-subscribe@lists.mysql.com> mysql-digest'
     The `mysql' list in digest form.  That means you get all individual
     messages, sent as one large mail message once a day.

`<bugs-subscribe@lists.mysql.com> bugs'
     On this list you should only post a full, repeatable bug report
     using the `mysqlbug' script (if you are running on Windows, you
     should include a description of the operating system and the MySQL
     version).  Preferably, you should test the problem using the
     latest stable or development version of MySQL before posting!
     Anyone should be able to repeat the bug by just using `mysql test
     < script' on the included test case.  All bugs posted on this list
     will be corrected or documented in the next MySQL release!  If
     there are only small code changes involved, we will also post a
     patch that fixes the problem.

`<bugs-digest-subscribe@lists.mysql.com> bugs-digest'
     The `bugs' list in digest form.

`<internals-subscribe@lists.mysql.com> internals'

     can also discuss MySQL development and post patches.

`<internals-digest-subscribe@lists.mysql.com> internals-digest'
     A digest version of the `internals' list.

You subscribe or unsubscribe to all lists in the same way as described
above.  In your subscribe or unsubscribe message, just put the
appropriate mailing list name rather than `mysql'.  For example, to
subscribe to or unsubscribe from the `myodbc' list, send a message to
<myodbc-subscribe@lists.mysql.com> or
<myodbc-unsubscribe@lists.mysql.com>.

If you can't get an answer for your questions from the mailing list, one
option is to pay for support from MySQL AB, which will put you in
direct contact with MySQL developers. Note: Support.

The following table shows some MySQL mailing in other languages than
English.  Note that these are not operated by MySQL AB, so we can't
guarantee the quality on these.
