QDNS 3.53 crash

Re: QDNS 3.53 crash

No matter what query the mail server sent, QuickDNS Server shouldn't
have crashed. The mail server log message could simply indicate that
a query was sent, took to long and timed out, and then QuickDNS sent
back the response. (You'd have to check with the mail server vendor
to see if this is plausible.)

QuickDNS Server 3.5.3, as far as we know, has no bugs. But Open
Transport has bugs, and if it crashes, QuickDNS Server crashes. Our
best advice to you is to upgrade to Mac OS X.
