<h1>MaraDNS support</h1>
Please read all of this page before you send me an email asking for
MaraDNS support.
<p>

The <b>only</b> supported MaraDNS versions are:
<ul>
<li>MaraDNS 1.0.41
<li>MaraDNS 1.2.12.08
<li>MaraDNS 1.3.07.05
<li>MaraDNS 1.3.08
</ul>

The version number of MaraDNS you are using can be obtained by typing
in <tt>maradns --version</tt>.
<p>

<b>Debian and Ubuntu users:</b> The version of MaraDNS Debian
and Ubuntu uses is problably not supported by me.  Please read <A
href=debian.html>this page</A> for information on upgrading to a supported
release of MaraDNS. <p>

If you have obtained an older version of MaraDNS from another third-party
software repository, please let me know where you got MaraDNS so I can
contact the people in charge of the offending repository and ask them
to either update or remove MaraDNS.
<p>

Be sure to include the following information in your email:
<ul>
<li>A copy of your <tt>mararc</tt> file (this is usually <tt>/etc/mararc</tt>)
<li>A copy of any relavant zone files (these can usually be found in the
    <tt>/etc/maradns</tt> directory)
<li>The version number of MaraDNS that you are using (this can be obtained
    by typing in <tt>maradns --version</tt>). 
<li>The operating system that you are running MaraDNS under.
</ul>

Messages about concerns with an unsupported version of MaraDNS or without 
all of the above information will be sent back to the sender, asking for
more information or for the sender to update MaraDNS.
<p>

If you are using MaraDNS 1.0.39 or 1.0.40, and have a question about
how to configure MaraDNS, please 
<A href="http://www.maradns.org/tutorial/1.2/update.html">upgrade to 
MaraDNS 1.2</A>.  MaraDNS 1.2 has
a number of usability improvments over 1.0, and is much easier to configure.
There is still a <A href="http://www.maradns.org/faq-1.0.html">FAQ for
MaraDNS 1.0 available</A>.  You may also be able to get help by posting your
question to the MaraDNS mailing list.
<p>

If you are using 1.0 and have a bug to report, please feel free to report
it; I will continue to fix serious MaraDNS 1.0 bugs until December 21, 2007,
and MaraDNS 1.0 security bugs (should they arise) until December 21, 2010.
<p>

I am constantly working on improving MaraDNS' documentation so that 
anyone else with the same question can also have their question
answered.  Therefore, I may answer your question by showing you
the relevant part of the MaraDNS documentation and asking you what 
isn't clear about the documentation.
<p>

It may take me up to a week to reply to a given support question.  <b>Please
be patient</b>.
<p>

Again, <b>I will not answer questions that do not tell me which version
of MaraDNS you are using, that do not contain your mararc and relevant zone 
files, and that do not tell me which operating system you are using</b>.
