Hi, is it possible to build tor non-exit relay and bridge on the same IP, the same tor instance ? I have running Freebsd non-exit relay instance and I can build more instances in different countries, the question is if its technical possible to have bridge and relay on the same machine ? Does it make sense from the securit point of view ?

Re: [tor-relays] Jerk spammers on tor-relays (was Re: Fwd: Tor GuardRelay)

So, for me, it appears that the jerk spammers have advanced, Instead of sending spam to the tor-relays(a)lists.torproject.org email address, they are now directly sending spam to specific addresses subscribed to the list. I got one today from colemanrosettad(a)gmail.com, and have been receiving some over the last few days that were sent directly to this email address. I did not think they were related, but the other email addresses the one I received today was also sent to the addresses below, which I believe are addresses that are subscribed to the list. I have reported it to Google via their abuse report email address which is registrar-abuse(a)google.com, so I will see what they say (and forward it to the list if requested). The other addresses were: johndalton289(a)gmail.com, and teor2345(a)gmail.com. I tried attaching a photo of the "to" field but it was rejected due to size limitations. Just thought I'd give a heads up.
