The mailman lists have been shutdown. Originally I wanted to add an auto responder for this, to direct people here instead, but that turned out to be a giant pile of work that wasn’t going to last very long anyways so I just skipped it.

If you try to send an email to any of our mailing lists now you will get the following response from our server that your provider should tell you about.

> 550 5.1.1 [devel@pidgin.im](mailto:devel@pidgin.im): Recipient address rejected: User unknown in local recipient table

Obviously the mailing list address will change depending on which one you sent it to.

The archives for all of the lists are still available at [lists.pidgin.im](https://lists.pidgin.im) and [lists.imfreedom.org](https://lists.imfreedom.org) and will be basically forever.

Hope everyone is having a great time with Discourse!
