| I've been away for a while so please excuse a newbie sounding question.
What nymservers are up and working these days? I noticed panta had an
expired key problem that's now fixed. How about the rest of them?
Which ones will still accept an oldstyle RSA v3 key created with pgp2?
Do the one's with 'newnym2' in the capstring require DSA or will they
accept RSA as well?
Making a nym on panta is no problem, done it many times. I'd appreciate
any tips for getting something working on the others though. I don't like
having all my nym-mail going through one server, I like to have multiple
nym-redundancy
Thanks in advance

nym.alias.net is still around but suffers horrible reliability issues.
nym.mixmin.net should be okay.
nym.panta-rhei.eu.org is up again as you stated.

There shouldn't be any issues with RSA keys providing they don't use the
IDEA algorithm. That's quite a big 'if' in PGP terms.
I'd strongly suggest moving to something newer than v2, even if it's
only so far as 6.5.8. PGPv2 is not compatible with the openpgp
standards that the newnym2 servers are compliant with. It also only
supports MD5 digest and RSAv3 keys, neither of which instill a sense of
security in these times. There are die-hard supporters of it but they
are running short of peers to communicate with.
In short, it's run down the curtain and joined the choir invisible. :-)

I'd suggest giving nym.mixmin.net a try but then I would, I run it. 
Get the key by sending a request in the usual manner to
remailer-key@nym.mixmin.net.

Have you noticed alt.security.pgp is kind of comatose? Seems there is no
community for the official PGP versions anymore. GnuPG is the only true
candidate left imho. Though I will keep using RSAv3 keys with IDEA and
MD5 for as long as I can :-)

Not to forget hod.aarg.net, a very reliable service. Many thanks btw.

So the recommendation "never touch a running system" appears to hold
water. However, to make it perfect I'd appreciate the integration of a
spam filter and an option to finger keys and nym lists.

finger _@hod.aarg.net hasn't worked for a year or so.
no one reads email to the operator.

Also there is borknym, currently in testing.

Heh. A few days ago I got a message about my nym expiring unless
I sent a config request or a message through the nym.
anon.lcs.mit.edu has been refusing connections forever.
Soo, how do you send a request or a message?
Funny stuff.
