'Test the selected nym account' gives, 'Nym message transmission
completed without problems.' But I never receive a reply thru
Thunderbird/AAM. What's up?

Checked all the tabs in Omni using Danner's help pages and everything
looks good. It's weird, last week messages were comign through fine, but
now nothing.

Can be
- the remailer path to the nymserver
-> retry with multiple copies / different exits
- a defunct nymserver
-> ask this group, as there are no more nymserver statistics
- the reply path
-> choose an empty reply chain with direct posting to aam
- OM's hamster not downloading aam messages
-> check logs (Hamster / Log)
- your nym not assigned to your OM user
-> check your User Accounts entries

Which is correct?

OR

Analysis Block Size = 1000
Variation [%] = 0
Xover=0
Messages=0
Delay=0

Obfuscation parameters for direct nym message downloads from a
potentially monitored external newsserver:

No dummy data retrieval required while using a local Hamster repository:

Is this a problem:

08:16:21.881 P News message pointer of nym '+++++++@nym.mixmin.net' -
'alt.anonymous.messages' not updated to 1274, already at 3477

08:16:21.896 P Disconnecting from external nym NNTP server
08:16:21.950 > NNTP State: Disconnecting.

08:17:22.474 P Nym NNTP message count for alt.anonymous.messages: 1273
(low: 1 / high: 1273)

That means the current nym message retrieval task ended at aam posting
number 1274. But as your nym's message pointer has already advanced
beyond that position, it didn't participate in that nym message search.
Otherwise OM would send copies of already retrieved messages to the mail
client.

You get such a situation after adding a new nym account without setting
its Newsgroup Pointer to the number of the latest aam posting. Otherwise
with subsequent POP3 requests OM would at first increase the new nym's
message pointer step by step till it closes up with the foremost
position before finally newer postings are analyzed.

Here the ">>> RESTRICTED <<<" remark in

| 09:06:13.203 P Loading news overview data (1000 entries, projected increment 1000 plus 0 dummies) for alt.anonymous.messages (low: 274 / high: 1273 - >>> RESTRICTED <<<) ...

means analysis didn't include the latest aam postings. To get all your
nym messages your client has to continue POP3 requests till it gets to
the end of the posting list.

In case you deleted your Hamster's repository and got it rebuilt from
scratch starting at position 1, you'd also have to reset all your nyms'
Newsgroup Pointer to start nym message scanning at the first entry.

Obviously that's your problem, as your aam postings range from 1 to no
more than 1273.

At the User tab, OmniMix entry, reenter Password 'omnimix',
click Accept and restart servers.

In ModNym, I set my message pointer to 1273 and downloaded the missing
posts. Thanks.
