  • CHANGE: When creating a new group or changing the name of an existing group, change the error message when the group name is already taken to That address is not available..
  • CHANGE: Hardcode some IP addresses associated with chinamobile.com because reverse DNS lookups on them fail randomly.
  • BUGFIX: The command to update whether a topic was locked/moderated/etc in the search index was failing because the syntax changed between Elasticsearch versions. Fixed the command and re-indexed the message archive.

  • NEW: Member search now also searches moderator notes.
  • BUGFIX: In some cases when we do a reverse DNS lookup on the IP address of a server sending us email, the Go DNS library would return a server misbehaving error, which we treated the same as not having a reverse DNS record, causing us to reject the incoming message. In those cases, we now repeat the lookup using an alternate DNS library. Specifically, China Mobile email servers seem to suffer from this.
