Thanks for the reply, Steve. I upgraded to the new version and it seems to 
process correctly now. Seems like the logging messages are more useful now, 
too.

I used "nymserv --process" just to capture the error. It runs as "nymserver --
start" for day-to-day, minute-to-minute operation.

FYI, nymserv.breaka.net has a handful of users created and is processing about 
100 emails a day. Other than yesterday's problem, its been running smoothly 
and no other problems I am aware of. I'm sending the email from a couple of 
mailing lists through my test email user but it seems pretty solid. Combined 
with QSLite, it's a great system.
