All was fine until I upgraded to OmniMix 2.8.3.

Stats seem to be okay, using SEC3. But they got cleared and look like
this now.

No changes to remailers.

I have some custom settings on OmniMix that I would prefer not to have to
redo during an upgrade so I always make a backup copy.

I tried a new OmniMix 2.8.3 installation on another system and it worked perfectly. Not one "No valid Anon SMTP Host data" message.

Recovery.
I renamed the new upgraded OmniMix 2.8.3 folder.
I renamed the original backup folder back to OmniMix and made a second
copy.

I ran the installation of 2.8.3 again and this time did not overwrite any
of the files it asked to.

Everything came up fine working perfectly. No more "No valid Anon SMTP
Host data" messages and posting is reliable.
