We value your feedback. In fact, we rely on it to improve Privoxy and its configuration. However, please note the following hints, so we can provide you with the best support:
For casual users, our support forum at SourceForge is probably best suited: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=11118&atid=211118
All users are of course welcome to discuss their issues on the users mailing list, where the developers also hang around.
Please don't sent private support requests to individual Privoxy developers, either use the mailing lists or the support trackers.
Note that the Privoxy mailing lists are moderated. Posts from unsubscribed addresses have to be accepted manually by a moderator. This may cause a delay of several days and if you use a subject that doesn't clearly mention Privoxy or one of its features, your message may be accidentally discarded as spam.
If you aren't subscribed, you should therefore spend a few seconds to come up with a proper subject. Additionally you should make it clear that you want to get CC'd. Otherwise some responses will be directed to the mailing list only, and you won't see them.
"Problems" for our purposes, come in two forms:
Configuration issues, such as ads that slip through, or sites that don't function properly due to one Privoxy "action" or another being turned "on".
"Bugs" in the programming code that makes up Privoxy, such as that might cause a crash.
Please send feedback on ads that slipped through, innocent images that were blocked, sites that don't work properly, and other configuration related problem of default.action file, to http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=11118&atid=460288, the Actions File Tracker.
New, improved default.action files may occasionally be made available based on your feedback. These will be announced on the ijbswa-announce list and available from our the files section of our project page.
Please report all bugs through our bug tracker: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=11118&atid=111118.
Before doing so, please make sure that the b/sor>

Privoxy is based in part on code originally developed by Junkbusters Corp. and Anonymous Coders.
Privoxy heavily relies on Philip Hazel's PCRE.
The code to filter compressed content makes use of zlib which is written by Jean-loup Gailly and Mark Adler.
On systems that lack snprintf(), Privoxy is using a version written by Mark Martinec. On systems that lack strptime(), Privoxy is using the one from the GNU C Library written by Ulrich Drepper.
