 <h2>Fetching Tor via email: gettor</h2>
 <hr />
 <p>
-It is possible to get a copy of Tor by sending an email to a special email
-address: '<tt>gettor AT torproject.org</tt>'. This email system is a gateway
-that allows anyone who can send email to get a copy of Tor. Currently, we only
-support mail systems that we know
-don't mind large email attachments. Gmail and Yahoo! mail are two such mail
-services that are known to work. This is useful for users who can send email
-but have no other direct method of downloading Tor. Any such email provider 
-must implement the <a href="http://www.dkim.org/">DKIM</a> email standard. A
-user only needs to send us a request with 'help' in the body of the email.
-Instructions will be
-sent as a reply. An email with the requested package will be sent shortly.
-If the email is not sent from a supported provider, we will reply once before 
-blocking the email address for a twenty four hour period.

+To avoid spamming people accidentally, we only answer emails that are sent
+from email services that support <a href="http://www.dkim.org/">DKIM</a>,
+which is an email feature that lets us verify that the sender in the
+"From" line is actually the one who sent the mail. If we get an email from
+a service that doesn't use DKIM, we'll send a short note and then ignore
+the email address for the next day or so.
