Re: [tor-relays] can dirport be disabled on fallback directory?

[starlight.2017q4@xxxxxxxxxxx]

Dirport is a handy convenience, but is not essential to proper

dirport and it stopped the abuser cold.  Dirport traffic went
from 15% of total back down to 1-2% where it belongs.

Nonetheless the questions posed are valid.
