Hi Kali

Where did you learn that AccountingMax argument will prevent you from
being a directory server?

I can not confirm or infirm this information, but as far as I see in
the manual there is no such reference for accountingmax.

500GB per month is little amount of traffic, seriously. My 100mbit
relays made on virtual servers consume 6-7TB of total traffic per month.

Use the accountingmax argument and you should be fine, it's better
than capping bandwidth and it is a great help for the network.

Thanks for running a relay.
