I am not sure about the lists; your mail was not received.

First, verify that your privoxy config contains this line:

forward-socks4a / localhost:9050 .

(do not forget the dot!)

(or whatever your Tor SocksPort is if it is not 9050.)

When you have verified this, please visit this page and check what it
says for REMOTE_ADDR and REMOTE_HOST.

Those fields should correspond to a Tor node.
