I just don't see how you can simultaneously say "throw away unsigned
mail" and "don't throw away unsigned mail if a list says it used to be
signed" unless you have some way to identify trustworthy lists.  But
once you know that a list is trustworthy, why wouldn't you just accept
all its mail?  I just don't see a plausible scenario where you you
know you trust the list but still want to accept or reject mail based
on assertions the list itself makes.


How about you trust the list, and it says the inbound message wasn't
signed? The list has left the value judgement to the recipient.

How does one do that if using an email web service provider that puts
the message into the spam folder without giving the recipient a
choice?
