As has been pointed out before, spammers could easily *fake* the format for a digitally signed email, and then to figure out if it was real or not SA would have to actually verify every signed message. Besides, there's some very determined spammers out there, and there's nothing to stop them from generating a PGP key, putting it onto a key server, and then signing the message they spam; they just wouldn't be able to make each message body unique, which not many spammers do anyways. -- Visit http://dmoz.org, the world's | Give a man a match, and he'll be warm largest human edited web directory. | for a minute, but set him on fire, and | he'll be warm for the rest of his life.
