My own idea is that PGP/GPG could save us all from spam and SMTP
messages being clear text in one fell swoop. If everyone encrypted their
email using GPG/PGP and refused to accept unencrypted email or mail not
encrypted with their public key, spammers would have a heck of a time
tracking all of those public keys then have to use a few CPU cycles to
encrypt before sending, not to mention a few million keys to juggle. And
surely the enduser PGP/GPG software could be made easy enough to use for
the average Joe -- as in find the recipient's key, encrypt and send--
doh. Why do we need SPF or Madrid? For seamlessness? Heck with that.
PGP/GPG would help to actually fix a problem rather than patch one.
