Somebody should integrate PGP signing into Mailman (as an option) so that you could set it up so when you subscribe to a list you give it your public key, and you can't post to the list unless the message is PGP signed by that key. <rant> Digital signatures on email is something that is extremely overdue. PGP signatures have been grafted on in a half-assed way, but someday either no mail will travel unless it's been correctly signed or email will disappear as a viable means of communication because of the spam problem. </rant> -- Paul Tomblin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://blog.xcski.com/ "Belligerent Design: The theory that life was put on this planet by an external sentient force just to piss me off." - Lore Brand Comics ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.027.htp
