There are 2 mailing lists for MailScanner users.

87
The second list is a discussion list where all new features, configuration issues and so on are discussed. This is where to go if you need help.
88
The developers also keep an eye on it, so it's a good place to suggest
89
new features, problems, questions, etc. But please remember there are
90
limits to the time that can be spent on unpaid support. If you need more
