Hi Sophie, >If I would like to suggest to add a warning to the "Before >using TorBirdy", where would be the right place to do so?
If you would like to submit the feature request what you would first do is connect to Tor's bug tracker [0]. From there you can either register for your own account or use the credentials listed in the 'Welcome' text on the first page. Select 'New Ticket' and fill in the ticket. Choose 'enhancement' for type and 'TorBirdy' for the component. If you wish to reference the discussion here on tor-talk you can use the links available in the archives [1].

Tricky. A failure could be both. Tor tries to guess if an exit will allow your exiting traffic but it's not a guarantee. In which case, you're correct, a new exit is chosen. Perhaps from existing circuits or by building a new circuit if needed. This would also occur if the connection to the mail server is refused. A response 'blocked' is not be a failure in the usual sense. The connection succeeds in a manner of speaking but is closed before sending data. Thanks for pointing that out. --leeroy -- tor-talk mailing list - tor-talk@lists.torproject.org To unsubscribe or change other settings go to https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
