LAMMPS mail list

The LAMMPS mail list is hosted at SourceForge. The mail list began in 2005, and now includes tens of thousands of messages in thousands of threads. LAMMPS developers try to respond to posted questions in a timely manner, but no guarantees.

• post to list by sending email to lammps-users at lists.sourceforge.net (no subscription required)
• guidelines for posting to the list

• mail list archive on LAMMPS web site, organized by threads or date
• mail list archive on SourceForge, with search box
• search the web site archive via Google search box below
• search directly via Google/Bing/etc by including lammps-users in search

• subscribe/unsubscribe to LAMMPS mail list or edit options (button at bottom)
• direct link to change your mail list options

• LAMMPS project page at SourceForge
• LAMMPS mail list home page on SourceForge

Ways to use the LAMMPS mail list

• Anyone can post messages to the list by sending an email to lammps-users at lists.sourceforge.net.
• Anyone can browse/search previous questions/answers in the archives. See the links above to the archives on SourceForge or the LAMMPS web site.
• You do not have to subscribe to the list to post Qs, receive answers (to your Qs), or browse/search the archives.
• You do need to subscribe to the list if you want emails for all the posts (per-message or in digest form), or to answer Qs yourself. Feel free to sign up and help us out!
• If you post a message and you are a subscriber, your message will appear immediately. If you are not a subscriber, your message will be moderated, which typically takes a day. Either way, when someone replies you will receive that reply as a personal email, and the reply will appear on the list in the new thread your message started. Posting a message sends email to subscribers immediately, but it can take a few hours for postings and replies to show up in the SourceForge archive. We only update the LAMMPS web page archives every couple of weeks.
• An (unfortunately) common occurrence is for your mail list account to be "disabled", due to excessive bounces between SourceForge and your mail server. If this happens, you can reset your account to "enabled", by going to the link listed above for changing options. Enter the email address that mail list messages are sent to, and the password you specified for subscribing. Then you get a page of options. The first one (Mail delivery) is to enable/disable your account. Be sure to "Submit My Changes" at the bottom of the page.

Search the LAMMPS mail list archives

The mail list postings can be searched in various ways:

• Use this customized Google search box to search the subject lines and content of mail messages archived on the LAMMPS WWW site.
  Loading
• Search just the subject lines of mail messages archived on the LAMMPS WWW site, by using your browser search key (e.g. Ctrl-F) while viewing that page.
• Search the archives on SourceForge with its search box. This will search both the subject lines and content of the messages. Note that it is the "Search Mailing Lists" box near the top of the archive, not the SourceForge search box at the very top of the page.
• Do a normal Google/Bing/etc search in your browser. All mail list postings have "lammps-users" in the subject line. For example, a Google search for "lammps-users fix langevin" (without the quotes), will give hits on LAMMPS mail list messages.
