# Sending Feedback on the Cyrus IMAP Server

Feedback on and fixes for the software or on the document may be sent to `cyrus-bugs+@andrew.cmu.edu`. Unfortunately, we can not guarantee a response but we'll try the best we can. As usual, a high quality and complete message helps us tremendously.

If you submit a patch, please send unified diffs (-u) if your diff program supports them, or context diffs (-c) if it doesn't. Plain diffs are very difficult to evaluate. GNU diff can do this.

When reporting problems, be sure to include the relevant information. For example, you must include:

- the version of imapd
- the version of libsasl
- your system type (`uname -a` often provides the right information.

You should also include:

- the options you passed to `./configure`
- the errors from `make` (if any)
- the `config.status` file generated by `configure`

NOTE: If you are able to connect to the imap server, all of this information can be gathered by using the `version` command in `cyradm`. If you can not use `cyradm` because you are having perl problems, you can connect using `imtest` and then run the following IMAP command:

`a ID NIL`

The `info-cyrus@andrew.cmu.edu` mailing list exists for the discussion of this server and other Cyrus software; more information is available in the mailing-list document. You may get faster/more responses by posting to this list instead of to cyrus-bugs, as there are more readers here.
