No, everything is fine.  The problem is that when 0.0.7 was released,
there were still some clients running 0.0.6, so 0.0.7 needed to
include a hostname *and* an IP address.

What you need to do is set 'IP' to your external IP address (whatever
it is right now), set Hostname to your dynamic DNS hostname, and set
'ListenIP' to 0.0.0.0 (meaning, "listen on interfaces").

Nope; you should be fine with that.

Well, if you don't specify a shred function at all, Mixminion will
just overwrite files on its own.
