Downloading list archives¶
The MapServer-Users and MapServer-Dev mailing lists have been migrated to the new OSGeo list server.

To access the MapServer archives, simply point your browser to https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/mapserver-users/ and download the gzipped file or click on the link.
