>> We already have PGP and S/MIME, both fairly widely implemented. >Do people use those as antispam methods? No, because there is no reason to assume anything about mail with a crypto signature unless you have a priori knowledge about the signing agent. This is the same misunderstanding that has lead some people to imagine that mail that passes SPF or DKIM or whatever should automatically be whitelisted. For S/MIME and PGP it's also because the amount of signed mail is too small to matter in most mailstreams. R's, John
