But does the software actually check if it's a 'valid' pgp signature ?
Coz lots of spam these days have 'bogus pgp signatures', exactly BECAUSE a
lot of anti spam software flags them as 'non-spam'... So they use something
that LOOKS like a signature to fool the anti spam software....
Sorry about my english

The filtering service I sell considers PG signatures to be a plus, and
is less likely to get a SPAM hit.
