Alternate Circuits



-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

I have a quick question about how tor constructs circuits. Recently I
have started using Tor for my email (Thunderbird). IIRC the default exit
policy does not allow SMTP traffic. Let's say that I'm connected to Tor
server X for HTTP traffic. When I send a request to Tor to use the SMTP
port does it start a new circuit specifically for SMTP traffic or does
it start one that does SMTP and all of my other traffic (HTTP, etc.)?

Any answers appreciated,
Ringo
