 Replying to [ticket:6513 arma]:
 > BBG wants us to give out the 75 fast bridges through a separate email
 autoresponder mechanism from bridgedb's bridges at tp.o.
 >
 > Since these bridges will be mostly static, I think the right way to
 start out would be to just have a static string get returned -- the same
 three bridges from our list. When those stop working, we can reevaluate
 what to do next.

 Do you mean: do what BridgeDB's email distributor currently does, but
 configure a BridgeDB to read from a static file, or

 Do you mean: write a script to respond to an email with the same 3
 bridges, and figure out what to do when those 3 get blocked, or

 Do you mean: something else entirely?

 good person to pop one of these up next to / part of bridgedb?

 It should be pretty easy to set up a BridgeDB instance that:

 a) disabled https distributor, enabled email distributor
 b) reads the list of bridges from a static set of descriptors in a file.
