+    Arrange for control message delivery. The recommanded way is to
+    assign a mixminion mailbox and route it to the nymserver user on
+    localhost. The server address you will have to advertise will look
+    like "mbox:nymuser at nodename". If you choose to host a nymbaron
+    server without running a mixminion node you can advertise the
+    nymserver user email address directly. Make sure emails sent to
+    this address are piped through the command

+    Configure the nymserver. Copy the nymbaronrc file supplied in the
+    contrib directory and adjust the variables to your needs. "path"
+    is the directory where the users data will be stored, and
+    "setupscript" is a script that is run when a new account is
+    created (it lets you send a welcome email, for example).

+    Test your server. You should be able to create a new user account,
+    receive an email sent from another host, retrieve that email, and
+    send an email from your anonymous account to an email address
+    hosted somewhere else.
