from yahoo.cn

 Currently, https://bridges.torproject.org/ says that bridge request
 e-mails must be sent ‘from a gmail or yahoo account’.  According to the
 `bridgedb.conf` file in BridgeDB Git HEAD, BridgeDB will only accept
 e-mail bridge requests from `gmail.com` or `yahoo.com`; it rejects
 requests from `yahoo.cn`, for example, even though such addresses are
 attached to Yahoo Mail accounts.

 The web page should be changed to specify exactly which e-mail addresses
 can be used to request bridge addresses.  If possible, this part of the
 web page should be automatically generated based on the current
 configuration.
