We're excited to announce the launch of the official OpenEFA community forum at forum.openefa.com!
A Central Hub for the OpenEFA Community
As the OpenEFA project continues to grow, we recognized the need for a dedicated space where users, developers, and email security enthusiasts can come together to:
- Ask questions and get help with installation, configuration, and troubleshooting
- Share experiences and best practices for deploying OpenEFA in production
- Discuss features and contribute ideas for future development
- Collaborate on improvements to the OpenSpacy modules and filtering capabilities
- Stay updated on the latest releases, security patches, and announcements
Why a Forum?
While we love GitHub for code collaboration and issue tracking, we wanted to create a more conversational space where the community can:
- Have in-depth technical discussions without cluttering issue trackers
- Build a searchable knowledge base of solutions and configurations
- Foster connections between OpenEFA users and developers
- Share deployment stories and use cases
