Comment:

 Trac is not an appropriate place for technical support questions.  The
 help desk e-mail address is the appropriate place for such things.  But
 ok.  I'll provide a brief answer before I close this.

 The list of IP addresses you posted obtained from your university's e-mail
 server is the IP address of the exit(s) your Tor instance has been using
 to get to the internet.  So the answer your original question "How do I
 stop the browser from going through particular servers or allowing
 malicious IPS to connect?" would be one of:

  1. Teach people not to do bad things with a public resource, so that IP
 addresses of Tor Exit nodes do not appear in lists of evil IPs.
  2. Use the `ExcludeExitNodes` configuration option to selectively remove
 IP addresses contained in all the various lists of "IP addresses someone
 at some point did something evil from", which will remove every single
 Exit node rendering your Tor instance useless.
  3. Stop using Tor entirely.
