That said, I agree, having a valid signature doesn't make a message not spam. Having a valid signature from a *trusted* key is another story. If we can't retirive your key from a public keyserver, we can never figure out if there is a trust path without asking you for a key first. This doesn't work. Use the keyservers, people. -Chris
The problem stays the same. The implication of my experience(and several of the list replies here) are: If you want your mails to be delivered, abandon crypto. I do not like that at all. There were suggestions like contacting the admin of the receiving mail server(the one with the filter) and telling him that his spam filter better not delete signed mails, or telling my friend to tell her boss that she has problems with her business contacts due to signed mails being filtered out. Well, thats a theoretical approach imho. The company I'm refering to is the size of the swiss UBS bank. Good luck contacting their admins. And one employee complaining about the spam filter, I seriously doubt it would change much. $me _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
