Absolutely.
because even if my machine gets whacked by a virus and starts spewing correctly signed mail, you will *know* it's my machine doing it and not some address-scraping virus on a machine in Zanzibar or someplace.

We'd at least know you were compromised at one point, though. :) BB _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it. Charter: http://lists.netsys.com/full-disclosure-charter.html
