Huh, that's strange. I checked and can understand your confusion -- the option I said was there was not. That may be a bug on our end. My guess is that what's happening is that we're not showing the box until your domains have gone through "virgin" confirmation. We wait a period of time, and watch to make sure that we don't receive any mail at them, in order to make certain that someone hasn't donated an MX that was used for mail in the past. That could, theoretically, mess up our data or give a spammer a route for a potential defense.
That virgin testing period is 2 or 3 days after the MXs are confirmed to be pointing at the right place. My guess is that the option will appear for your honey pots then. However, I think that's somewhat non-intuitive behavior for the system and I'll talk with Lee and see what he thinks about having the box appear as soon as the MXs go active. The only downside to that is that you may be able to select the option to use only your domains, but if they haven't cleared the virgin testing then that preference won't start immediately. I think we can explain that in an alert, however.
The 25 addresses that have been handed out were through your honey pots. (That's a fairly high-traffic honey pot, so you're bound to see more harvester traffic than most.) Those 25 addresses were generated with "public" domains other members of the Project had previously donated. We don't display anywhere the number of addresses that have been created with your MXs. Although, currently with your donations, that number is zero.
Sorry for the confusion, and welcome to the Project!
