## 5.1 Mail

There is an official xmame/xmess mailing list. All operations related to this list are performed via email to `xmame-request@acm.csres.utexas.edu` with a proper keyword in the body.

Currently recognized commands are:

        subscribe      - subscribe to the list
        unsubscribe    - unsubscribe from the list

X-Mame Mail List ideario

- The X-Mame mailing list is intended to be a technical forum for XMame developers, that is,
  - To exchange ideas about getting a better X-Mame
  - To share patches and notify bugs
  - Study new design strategies
  - To expose problems and learn know-how
- The X-Mame mailing list is not a forum about playing games (but everyone in xmame-list plays...), so please:
  - Don't use the list to ask about ROMs
  - Don't ask about non-UNIX ports of Mame, just about MAME and X-Mame
  - Don't ask about implementing a game. Just search the docs and contribute yourself (you'll enjoy twice: programming and playing...)
  - Dont show your last high score in xxx game (we are interested in programming, and then playing, in this order)
- Copyright notice: NEVER, I repeat NEVER send ROM images to the list. (but you can tell us where to retrieve them... ;-) )
- At this moment, the X-Mame List is unmoderated, that is: every one subscribed will received everything sent to the list. Expecting no need to change this policy...

If you want to send a personal mail to the xmame/xmess coordinator, send to the address below. Everyone that contributes to xmame/xmess should subscribe to the xmame/xmess mail list.

- Mailing list: `xmame-request@acm.csres.utexas.edu`
- Xmame/xmess coordinator: `gold@aros.net`

That's all. Enjoy X-Mame!
