Hi folks,

I had some problems with my mailserver, so probably the following
questions were already discussed. If so, I am sorry.

If I am running TOR as a server, and I add the option "bridge relay",
than my server wouldn't be available in the main directory. Doesn't that
necessarrily results in only running a bridge, and not a server any
more, because nobody knows that I am running a server?

Do I have to use port 443? If not, I could offer a high-speed bridge.
