 Replying to [comment:3 phobos]:

 And shut down this distribution strategy? Maybe. Still works for non-China
 users.

 > Maybe we should simply allow anything with valid dkim headers.

 No, you misunderstand. Checking dkim is useful for gettor, so we make it
 harder to let people make us mailbomb innocent people.

 Checking dkim for bridgedb isn't the main goal. It's only to make it
 harder to let people make us send bridges to innocent people. dkim itself
 isn't providing the security in the bridgedb case. It's the uniqueness of
 the gmail usernames that is.
