There are many ways to contact us, depending on what you want to talk about.
All mailing lists are in English unless specified otherwise.
Public mailing lists
These mailing lists are public: subscription is open to anyone. Don't send compromising information. Please respect the code of conduct.
tails-support
tails-support@boum.org is the mailing list dedicated to Tails user support.
This list is the right place for:
- User support: solving doubts about how to use Tails, security implications of Tails, etc.
- Community interaction: information and tricks about ways of using Tails that are not officially documented but might be of interest to others.
- Small issues: pointing out small things that we needed to fix and do not require a complete bug report. That's fine and we appreciate it.
This list is the wrong place for:
- Bug reports: see the bug reporting documentation instead.
- Feature requests: those should be done on the development mailing list: tails-dev@boum.org.
- Computer security essays and conspiranoia not directly related to Tails.
