What's wrong with using port 6881?
Please *DO NOT* set your 'From' address to the list address. It's confusing as I have no way to tell who sent the message. Adjust your mail client settings before replying to this message.
Calm down. Software malfunction.
I just discovered the problem before I got back here and saw your reply. It wasn't intentional.
Not using 6881 makes it easier for the network to survive, because ISPs have started blocking common p2p ports. If we shift to the upper, unassigned range (49152-65535) they can't really block those without hurting other things (some implementations of passive FTP, for example). It also makes p2p traffic more difficult to track (though still relatively simple).
I see. Thanks for the clarification.
