I did a quick search on Google for a product that would plug in to an open source mail list manager, and allow for only specific messages (PGP signed or encrypted) to be pushed to the other members. I didn't have any luck in the few minutes I spent looking finding a program that let SIGNED messages through, but I did find one that let ENCRYPTED messages through.
The software is called NAH6 SECURE LIST. It is a plugin for MAILMAN. If nothing else it might get a few others with more time on their hands looking around for a solution that will allow us to send messages from our email clients, with a high degree of confidence that messages are from who they say they are from. Obviously, moving the list in this direction would prohibit people from sending messages to this list without first going through a period of waiting for the admin to accept their key, add it to the server, and so on. I guess a decision needs to be made whether the purpose of this list is to encourage quick, free, open conversation, or whether things should be locked down a bit in order to restrict things. Sure, spammers will still be able to send at least one annoying message (since they can signup, submit a key, and after acceptance send their crap), but at least the annoying messages won't appear to be from another person. What do you think J-Ray? (hehehe, J-Lo, J-Ray, haha) Other list folk, perhaps you could help out and look for software that would only allow signed or encrypted messages in.
