Comment:

 Added 'test_smtp.py'. This is a test suite used to test the BridgeDB SMTP
 autoresponder. All tests are written to use twister.trial. The suite
 currently has three tests:
 1) test_getBridges: sends an email to BridgeDB and checks that a response
 is received containing bridge details
 2) test_getBridges_rateLimitExceeded: sends 3 emails to BridgeDB from the
 same email address and checks that the correct rate-limited response is
 received in each case
 3) test_getBridges_stressTest: sends 100 emails from random email
 addresses on the same domain, and checks that a response is received in
 each case

 To run the tests:
  set EMAIL_SMTP_PORT in bridgedb.conf to 2525
  add "127.0.0.1" to EMAIL_DOMAINS in bridgedb.conf
  generate some bridge descriptors
  run bridgedb
  run 'trial test_smtp.py' from within the bridgedb virtualenv
