-It is possible to get a copy of Tor by sending an email to a special email
53
-address: '<tt>gettor AT torproject.org</tt>'. This email system is a gateway
54
-that allows anyone who can send email to get a copy of Tor. Currently, we only
55
-support mail systems that we know
56
-don't mind large email attachments. Gmail and Yahoo! mail are two such mail
57
-services that are known to work. This is useful for users who can send email
58
-but have no other direct method of downloading Tor. Any such email provider 
59
-must implement the <a href="http://www.dkim.org/">DKIM</a> email standard. A
60
-user only needs to send us a request with 'help' in the body of the email.
61
-Instructions will be
62
-sent as a reply. An email with the requested package will be sent shortly.
63
-If the email is not sent from a supported provider, we will reply once before 
64
-blocking the email address for a twenty four hour period.

+To avoid spamming people accidentally, we only answer emails that are sent
63
+from email services that support <a href="http://www.dkim.org/">DKIM</a>,
64
+which is an email feature that lets us verify that the sender in the
65
+"From" line is actually the one who sent the mail. If we get an email from
66
+a service that doesn't use DKIM, we'll send a short note and then ignore
67
+the email address for the next day or so.
