How do I subscribe?

Wiki Markup
See the \[http://tomcat.apache.org/lists.html mailing list page\]. If you are unable to subscribe, it could be due to your e-mail system mangling your e-mail addres.

If you send an e-mail to the list owner to subscribe you to the list, be prepared to wait until the owner has an opportunity to add you to the list. AnchorQ2Q2

Why won't people answer my question?

...

  • "help" in the subject line (we know you need help by writing in the first place)
  • plz or please in the subject line. We already know you need help.
  • ALL CAPS IN THE SUBJECT LINE. (Sorry for anyone emailing from a mainframe)
  • Do not place !! (more than 2!) in the subject line. The number of exclamation points has no relation to anyone's interest in answering the question. In fact - it has a higher chance at being ignored.
  • Your e-mail has a return receipt. You don't need to know I got the message.
  • Select posters who have consistently displayed no desire to research before posting a question.

AnchorQ3Q3How do I unsubscribe?

Wiki Markup
See the \[http://tomcat.apache.org/lists.html mailing list page\]. If you are unable to unsubscribe, it could be due to your e-mail system mangling your e-mail address or you have subscribed under an alias. In that case, maybe \[http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=tomcat-user&m=104190907020995&w=2 this thread\] will help.

If you send an e-mail to the list owner to remove you from the list, be prepared to continue receiving more e-mails from the lists until the owner has an opportunity to remove you from the list.

AnchorQ4Q4Should I post to users or dev?

...

If you wish to extend tomcat using your own Valve, Realm, or anything else ... those discussions belong in tomcat-user. You might be using Tomcat's internal API but unless your changes are going back into the official source tree, the question belongs on the user list. CategoryFAQ
