Each of those elements have some constant characteristic. In fact, having
spam signed with GPG would make it easier to filter out - you could have
your LDA check the signature, verify it and cast away should it fail
verification.

How come? You have to filter every mail in order to see whether it's spam or
not anyway... There is a tool that does a very good job for keeping spam
away from your box if you're willing to put some effort in configuring it
(I'm not using it personally, but my boss is - with a great success) -

possible spam.
