So I just changed my torrc file contactinfo to Keifer dot bly at gmail dot com
Do I need to restart my relay for this to take effect?
Will doing this make it more difficult for spammers to reach my address?
Thanks.

Ok. So if that’s not being used anymore, what is the “ContactInfo: “ string used for?
ContactInfo is not used by (past) Tor Weather implementations but it is still very much useful when people want to reach the operator.
Some potential reasons to reach the operator are: - misconfiguration - security issues - disfunctional relay
Is there still a way I can subscribe my email address to tor project for such things?
as I say in my last email there is no such service (Tor Weather) replacement (yet)
