OK there is a reason that Lemuria was selected. Even though Tom had
changed the capstring to middle, the Mix Key remains only "C".
I'm sure that all Key suppliers are still giving "C" only on Lemuria.
I've just changed/updated the Mix keys and Type2.list supplied by BiKiKii
to reflect Lemuria as middle "MC".

I should have caught that when I made the Lemuria Capstring change.

I believe that is the only anomaly(Capstrings vs. Mix Key flags) that
may exist with the Keys supplied by BiKiKii.
I had recently performed an audit of Capstrings vs. Mix Key flags but
in the next day I again do so.

I shall also perform a repeat of the sets with both Mix 2.04 and 2.9
in the next few days, once the Mix Key flags are equal to the Capstrings.

I also see a problem with some of the RegEx I used.

 amigo;\n\|anon;\n\|ashcroft;\n\|banana;\
n\|bikikii;\n\|bunker;\n\|...
should be:
 amigo;$\|anon;$\|ashcroft;$\|banana;$\|b
ikikii;$\|bunker;$\|...

However even with the correct RegEx the result is the same:

grep -c -E -v -f patternfile data
11880
grep -c -E -f patternfile data
0

As a comparison-

Italy as last hop:
grep -c -E italy;$ data
635

Italy is NOT the last hop:
grep -c -E -v italy;$ data
11245

Antani:
grep -c -E antani;$ data
688
grep -c -E -v antani;$ data
11192

Dizum:
grep -c -E dizum;$ data
671
grep -c -E -v dizum;$ data
11209


Lemuria was never involved with my test
because it did not meet the criteria.

lemuria      112423334333   1:56   +++++88666+8   88.4%

This is the Mix conf I used:

MINREL 90
MAXLAT 36
RELFINAL 96
DISTANCE 4
REQUIRE C
REJECT M
VERBOSE 1
ERRSTDOUT 1

(even though REQUIRE C and REJECT M are defaults,
I've always included them in the Mix conf files)

When I do those next tests I shall make all
remailers equal as far as uptime and latency.
