This problem should be solved in the latest 
stable release 1.4.14, I recommend that you 
try that one instead.

It's certainly a mailing list (I can find exactly this
phrasing several places in the documentation and on
the web site, don't know where you looked). I you 
click on "Mailing lists" on the web page, you'll find
links to the archives where you can see that many 
people are active whith questions and answers. Also, 
I'm afraid that you'll find quite some spam there
as well. As far as I understand, mailing list
service we use doesn't have a very good spam filter.
