These happen from time to time; currently they're not enough of a problem to warrant requiring signatures on messages to -done. I've never seen a spam message to control@ which actually did anything useful, so I suspect these will just be ignored. All of that said, we certainly do appreciate better anti-spam SA rules for the BTS, and we do already give negative scores for messages which have things which look like PGP signatures and/or come from an address which is in the whitelist. This enables us to be slightly more punitive with some of the rulesets that we have in place. -- Don Armstrong https://www.donarmstrong.com What prison taught me was that some people are born into a life where they're going to be subjected to intense life experiences and personal tragedy on an almost daily basis.
