#5840: tor disregards MapAddress .exit mapping

 In my torrc file I have the following statements:
 AllowDotExit 1
 [...]
 MapAddress imap.google.com imap.google.com.<exit_node_hash>.exit

 This is to prevent the stupid google blocks when my account appears to be
 accessed "from different location".

 This, however, seems to be completely disregarded by tor as I have at
 least 4 different IP addresses - all from different countries - in my
 google imap logs (visible when I log in using the web interface and click
 on "details" on my "Last account activity" status at the bottom).

 Before you ask - these were my sessions and not somebody else trying to
 hack my account as I know the times where I accessed it.

 This is *extremely* annoying as when my MapAddress mapping is completely
 disregarded by tor, google blocks my account as it treats access to it
 "from different location" as suspicious, so every time that happens I have
 to manually log in via the web interface and reset that account and change
 my password.
