What is MaraDNS ?

MaraDNS is a package that implements the Domain Name Service (DNS), an essential internet service. MaraDNS is open source software; this means that anyone is free to download, use, and modify the program free of charge.

People like MaraDNS because it's small, lightweight, easy to set up, and remarkably secure. It's also cross platform -- the program runs both in Windows and in UNIX clones.

More information describing MaraDNS is on the overview and summary page.

Current status

The most recent version of MaraDNS is MaraDNS 2.0.07, which I released on January 20, 2013. More information is in the blog.

Support

MaraDNS is a finished and stable project and there are no plans to add new features at this time. MaraDNS support (including bug reports) is available on a limited basis on the MaraDNS mailing list. I only answer emails once a month, near the end of the month, unless a security issue with a CVE number has been discovered. To join the mailing list, send an email to list-request@maradns.org with the word "subscribe" in the subject and body of the message. Once you join the list, send an email to list@maradns.org with your support concern.

While I only look at and answer MaraDNS support emails once around the end of a given month; other MaraDNS users might address your concern sooner. There also is no guarantee that I will acknowledge or answer a given support concern.
