 Title: Users-DE Mailing List
 license: https://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0
 
-This mailing list is a place for users of the Apache HTTP Server to discuss
-Apache and help each other to install and configure the software. Although
-some developers may participate in the list, the primary interaction is
-user-to-user.
+The "users-de" mailing list was a place for German-speaking users of the Apache HTTP Server. It was created in 2002, but closed and archived in 2026, due to lack of traffic.
 
-Please read the following guidelines before posting to the list.
+**Please use the main English-language users mailing list:** 
+>    Please use the main [users mailing list](userslist.html) of the Apache HTTP Server if you are looking for support.
 
-**There is no official support for the Apache HTTP Server:** 
->    This mailing list is for users to help other users. If you want
->    professional support, we suggest you contact a
->    [professional](http://www.apache.org/info/support.cgi).
-
-**Ask smart questions:** 
->    Eric Raymond and Rick Moen have written a very useful guide to [Asking
->    Questions the Smart
->    Way](http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html). **Do not**
->    send Apache questions to Eric or Rick!
-
-**Send in plain text:** 
->    Many email programs including Microsoft Outlook default to sending
->    HTML or other *styled* email. Please configure your email client to
->    send plain text so that everyone will be able to read your message.
-
-**Send German mails:** 
->    The users-de list is a German-language mailing list. English mails
->    should be directed to our [English-language mailing
->    list](userslist.html).
-
-**Don't ask FAQs:** 
->    Be sure to read the [FAQ](http://wiki.apache.org/httpd/FAQ) and search
->    the [archives](#archives) before you post.
-
-**Find the best group:** 
->    Although we welcome discussion of anything related to the Apache HTTP
->    Server, you will have the most luck in getting problems solved if you
->    ask your questions in the group most targeted to your problem. For
->    example, if you have a problem with a module that is not distributed
->    as part of the standard Apache HTTP Server, you will probably find a
->    more knowledgable group by sending to a mailing list devoted to that
->    module. In general, mails to these groups should be sent in English.
->    Some examples:
-
--  [PHP](http://www.php.net/support.php) 
-
--  [mod_perl](http://perl.apache.org/#maillists) 
-
--  [Jakarta/mod_jk/mod_webapp](http://jakarta.apache.org/site/mail.html)
