Re: [tor-relays] For some reason, my bridge is still saying it has no distribution mechanism, despite it is listed as email in my torrc and says it is overloaded?

It looks like rdsys thinks your bridge is not reachable and is not distributing 
it:
https://bridges.torproject.org/status?id=4D6E3CA2110FC36D3106C86940A1D4C8C91923AB

I see you have configured obfs4 to use port 8081. Have you checked that there is 
not firewall or something blocking the connections there? Have you looked into 
the logs to see if there is any hint of the problem?

Thank you for running the bridge.
