 Oops, forgot about this issue. Back now.

 If so, that's not so good.

 The answer to this is "yes and no." Each student has a single address that
 can't be changed, and they can create unlimited alias' (but only one every
 30 days I think). The answer would be to just accept mail from the
 `mail.gatech.edu` domain (the one each student only gets one of). The
 alias' (@gatech.edu) don't matter.

 this bridge distribution strategy (via gmail and yahoo accounts). So what
 you should really want is a separate distribution bucket, with its own
 bridges. Which sounds like a fine thing, except we don't have any
 developers working on this sort of thing.

 Good point (China was perhaps a bad example). I'd like to get involved
 with the Tor Project from a development standpoint; perhaps I'll take a
 look at this if I can find the time (not likely to happen at the moment;
 most of my OSS work has petered out lately, but you never know).
