I got to wondering today. I use JBN and have several nyms set up. Some
of them get spammed pretty badly. I was wondering if there was any chance that
when JBN is retrieving and decrypting mail from AAM and Reliable tries to
process PGP messages at the same time if there could be some kind of
collision going on. Like Reliable and JBN trying to use PGP simultaneously
and doing something unpredictable.

I disabled retrieving messages in JBN for now to see if that is a
possibility.

I am just at a loss to figure it out. At least I know I am not the only one
with the same problem. Some small consolation :(

I have 2 PCs setup. One is the re-mailer and the other is general purpose.
The general purpose PC is geared toward my wife's use. Like her Gmail
account, bookmarks, and so on. So I tend to log into the re-mailer PC which
is geared toward my use and read the news and get my mail from it.

Here is hoping <G>
