# Mailing Lists

Important

Do not send configure and installation questions to the petsc-users mailing list. Always send them (and include `configure.log` and `make.log`) to petsc-maint@mcs.anl.gov. See bug-report documentation for more information.

For all other contact, we have the following mailing lists with public archives for general use.

Name | Purpose | Subscribe | Archive
--- | --- | --- | ---
petsc-announce@mcs.anl.gov | For announcements regarding PETSc releases | subscribe/unsubscribe | archives
petsc-users@mcs.anl.gov | For PETSc users | subscribe/unsubscribe | archives
petsc-dev@mcs.anl.gov | For PETSc developers 1 | subscribe/unsubscribe | archives

Note

- petsc-announce is an announcement only list (i.e users cannot post on this list).

- petsc-users and petsc-dev are subscriber-only lists (i.e to post to this list - you have to subscribe first).

- All lists have limits on message sizes - so if you have to send in attachments - most likely the appropriate place is petsc-maint@mcs.anl.gov - not the mailing list.

- The mailing lists are migrated from majordomo to mailman in Jan-09. So links to archives, and subscription procedures have changed since then - as indicated above.
