Hey Tim, Ignoramus, Charly et all, concerning spam: as a positive example take this mailing list. We require no sign-up process to write to this list and yet we only received 3-4 spam mails over the last year. Of course spammers could crawl key servers for mail addresses but that doesn't seems to have happened so far and I don't know if that is easily possible.
And even if a spam problem should arise, there are filters that can be put to work in such a case. I personally prefer open and transparent then closed. But that is just me and does (of course) not apply to every aspect of my personal life. It does though apply to my public key. Cheers, steve >> 1.

That might be extremely undesirable. > _______________________________________________ > gpgtools-users mailing list > gpgtools-users@lists.gpgtools.org > FAQ: http://www.gpgtools.org/faq.html > Changes: http://lists.gpgtools.org/mailman/listinfo/gpgtools-users > Unsubscribe: > http://lists.gpgtools.org/mailman/options/gpgtools-users/steveb...@gulli.com?unsub=Unsubscribe&unsubconfirm=1 > > This email sent to: steveb...@gulli.com _______________________________________________ gpgtools-users mailing list gpgtools-users@lists.gpgtools.org FAQ: http://www.gpgtools.org/faq.html Changes: http://lists.gpgtools.org/mailman/listinfo/gpgtools-users Unsubscribe: http://lists.gpgtools.org/mailman/options/gpgtools-users/arch...@mail-archive.com?unsub=Unsubscribe&unsubconfirm=1 This email sent to: arch...@mail-archive.com
