Re: The status and future of Mixminion network

[Len Sassaman <rabbi@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

We're definitely seeing an attempted DOS attack against the Mixmaster
network, though 2/3 of them are still above 98% reliability, according to
my stats.

Perhaps the attack is against both networks? In any case, remops running
Mixminion should upgrade with the latest bugfixes that Nick recently made,
as they directly affect remailer stability.
