Hi Ken,

This is a condition the nymserver should handle but didn't. In other
words, it's a bug.  I've just committed a patch for it.

The problem appears to be a new nym request where the imported public
key is valid but doesn't contain any UIDs with valid email addresses on
them.  The patch will cause these requests to be rejected and a suitable
message logged.

Out of interest, are you running "nymserv --process" manually (or via
cron)?  For normal use, you can use "nymserv --start" which will start
the nymserver as a daemon and periodically process the inbox.

Regards
Steve
