14)     <h1>GetTor e-mail autoresponder</h1>

15) <p>GetTor is a program for serving Tor and related files over SMTP. Users
16) interact with GetTor by sending it email.</p>
17) 

18) <h2>Finding GetTor</h2>

19) 
20) <p>It is assumed that a user has a method of finding a valid GetTor
21) email robot.  Currently the best known GetTor email is gettor @
22) torproject.org. This should be the most current stable GetTor robot as
23) it is operated by the Tor Project.</p>
24) 
25) 

26) <h2>Requirements for using GetTor</h2>

27) 
28) <p>Users communicate with the GetTor robot by sending messages via email.

29) The messages are currently English keywords.</p>

30) 

31) <h2>Using GetTor</h2>

32) 
33) <p>Currently, users have a limited set of options. It is best to send an
34) email with a message body (the subject line can be blank) that consists
35) of only the word 'help' to receive instructions. This will send the most
36) current set of choices. An example reply to a request for help
37) follows:</p>
38) 

39) <pre>

40)   Hello, This is the "gettor" robot.
41) 
42)    I am sorry, but your request was not understood. Please select one
43)    of the following package names:
44) 

45)       windows
46)       macos-i386
47)       macos-ppc
48)       linux-i386
49)       linux-x86_64
50)       source

51) 
52)    Please send me another email. It only needs a single package name
53)    anywhere in the body of your email.

54) </pre>

55) <br>

56) 
57) <p>For example, it is possible to fetch the most current Windows bundle. A
58) user may send a request with only the word 'windows-bundle' in the body of the
59) email. An example reply would look something like the following:</p>
60) 

61) <pre>

62)    Hello! This is the "gettor" robot.
63) 
64)    Here's your requested software as a zip file. Please unzip the
65)    package and verify the signature.
66) 
67)    Hint: If your computer has GnuPG installed, use the gpg
68)    commandline tool as follows after unpacking the zip file:
69) 

70)       gpg --verify <packagename>.asc <packagename>

71) 
72)    The output should look somewhat like this:
73) 

74)       gpg: Good signature from "Roger Dingledine <arma@mit.edu>"

75) 
76)    If you're not familiar with commandline tools, try looking for
77)    a graphical user interface for GnuPG on this website:
78) 
79)       http://www.gnupg.org/related_software/frontends.html
80) 
81)    Have fun.

82) </pre>

83) <br>

84) 
85) <p>The email should also include an attachment with the name
86) 'windows-bundle.z' that can be downloaded by the user. The user must now
87) unpack the zip file and if they wish, they may verify that the file is
88) from the Tor Project.</p>
89) 
90) <h2>Unpacking and verifying the requested files</h2>
91) 
92) <p>A user should have software for decompressing .zip files. It will
93) contain at least two files, the requested bundle and its digital
94) signature. Before a user installs the bundle, they should verify the
95) signature.</p>
96) 
97) <p>Users should follow the most current instructions for <a href="<page

98) docs/verifying-signatures>">signature verification</a>.</p>
