Ansible has several mailing lists. Your first post to the mailing list will be moderated (to reduce spam), so please allow a day or less for your first post.
`Ansible Project List <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/ansible-project>`_ is for sharing Ansible Tips, answering questions, and general user discussion.
`Ansible Development List <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/ansible-devel>`_ is for learning how to develop on Ansible, asking about prospective feature design, or discussions about extending ansible or features in progress.
`Ansible Announce list <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/ansible-announce>`_ is a read-only list that shares information about new releases of Ansible, and also rare infrequent event information, such as announcements about an AnsibleFest coming up, which is our official conference series.
`Ansible Container List <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/ansible-container>`_ is for users and developers of the Ansible Container project.
`Ansible Lockdown List <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/ansible-lockdown>`_ is for all things related to Ansible Lockdown projects, including DISA STIG automation and CIS Benchmarks.

Tower Support Questions

Ansible `Tower <https://ansible.com/tower>`_ is a UI, Server, and REST endpoint for Ansible, produced by Ansible, Inc.
If you have a question about Tower, visit `Red Hat support <https://access.redhat.com/products/ansible-tower-red-hat/>`_ rather than using the IRC channel or the general project mailing list.
