These happen from time to time; currently they're not enough of a
problem to warrant requiring signatures on messages to -done.
I've never seen a spam message to control@ which actually did anything
useful, so I suspect these will just be ignored.
All of that said, we certainly do appreciate better anti-spam SA rules
for the BTS, and we do already give negative scores for messages which
have things which look like PGP signatures and/or come from an address
which is in the whitelist. This enables us to be slightly more punitive
with some of the rulesets that we have in place.

they're going to be subjected to intense life experiences and personal
tragedy on an almost daily basis. [...] I don't think you get
enlightenment after something like that. I think all anyone really
wants, if they're honest with themselves, is a quiet, easy life
surrounded by people that love them. Anything else is a conceit.
