Dear Knot Resolver users,
last week a long-lasting bug in our mailing system has been discovered,
which, over the past two years, blocked quite a few e-mails from being
delivered to the list <knot-resolver-users(a)lists.nic.cz> and a few
others (namely the <knot-dns-users(a)lists.nic.cz>cz>, whose subscriber Juha
Suhonen initially brought our attention to the issue - a thank you to
Juha is in order!).
This week the issue has been resolved and the blocked e-mails came
through. Some of these were our own, namely the Knot Resolver 5.5.0
release announcement, which is obviously outdated, as the current stable
version is Knot Resolver 5.7.0. We apologize for any confusion this
situation may have caused. Some others are still awaiting additional
approval, so after we manually identify, which are still relevant, and
which are spam, they will also come through during the following weeks.
Furthermore, later today we are planning to release new versions of the
stable Knot Resolver 5 and the early-access Knot Resolver 6. These
important updates will mitigate a few newfound DoS issues, the details
of which will soon be revealed globally. We are fully aware that this
unfortunate timing may cause further confusion, so we opted to inform
you, the subscribers, beforehand, that this next release e-mail is
indeed relevant.
We once again apologize for the confusion.
Best regards
Oto Šťáva
