Hello Neel, I found in the past year, that these Spam abuse complaints are about Spam sent via some webmailer, so someone uses port 80/443 and then sent spam via a email providers website. Very strange they even report this as spam. Regards yl On 5/3/22 20:42, Neel Chauhan wrote: Hi, A day

Your sources.list file entry looks incorrect.  I would definitely not recommend using trust=yes for a repo like tor, as it bypasses apt's security checks. According to the instructions you linked , your source for the tor packages should be li
