Mailing Lists

The OpenSS7 Project provides a number of low-volume mailing lists. These lists are mailman mailing lists and so have convenient web interfaces for subscribers to control their settings. You can manage a subscription to these lists (subscribe, unsubscribe, change options) by clicking on the list name in the following table:

Lists and Archives	Description
openss7 archives	The openss7 mailing list is for general inquiries, information exchange and announcements regarding the OpenSS7 Project. This is our original mailing list and takes the highest amount of traffic.
openss7-announce archives	The openss7-announce mailing list is for announcements related to the OpenSS7 project. This list will accept announcements posted by subscribers. Subscribe to this list if you are interested in announcements from the OpenSS7 Project, subscribers and sponsors, related to the OpenSS7 Project or SS7, SIGTRAN or SCTP in general.
openss7-cvs archives	The openss7-cvs mailing list is for automatic CVS log reporting. You must get permission of the owner to subscribe to this list. Subscribers are not allowed to post to this list, this is merely for distributing notification of changes to the CVS repository.

Subscribers are not allowed to post to this list: this list is for official OpenSS7 Project announcements only.

Spam

To avoid spam mail being sent to the members of the OpenSS7 mailing list(s), we have blocked mail from non-subscribers. Please subscribe to the mailing list before attempting to post to it. (Attempts to post when unsubscribed get bounced to us.)

As an additional measure against spam, subscriber lists for all OpenSS7 mailing lists are not accessible to non-subscribers; for most lists subscriber lists are only accessible to the list administrator. This keeps your mailing address from being picked off our website by bulk mailers.

Acceptable Use Policy

It is acceptable to post professional and courteous messages regarding the OpenSS7 package or any general information or questions regarding SS7, SIGTRAN, or SS7 applications in general.

Large Attachments

The mailing list is blocked from messages of greater than 40k. If you have attachments (patches, test programs, etc.) and you mail them to the list, it will bounce to me. If you are interested in making your patches, test programs, test results or other large attachments available to the members of the mailing list, state in the message that you would like them posted and I will place them in the mail archives.
