RE: Am I up and running...?

Oops...  ;)

Yup, I have to admit I deleted the contents of /var/spool/mixminion a couple
of times, after changing the config of my internal/external IP. I thought
that those values might be in the keys, and that it would be safer to delete
them before restarting the server.

Glad to see that Poboxes is now up and running as node!  8-)

Maybe, but in the process of setting it up, you apparently deleted and
recreated your keys many times.  You had "publish" set to "yes" for each of
these times, so the directory server received about a dozen keys for your
server.  I had a heck of a time trying to figure out which set of keys was
up-to-date.

This isn't your fault, of course: you didn't know that this would be an
issue.  But I'd like to come up with something to prevent other people from
doing this in the future.  Looking back, can you describe what went on
during this process?

Many thanks,
