Absolutely. I just wonder how many people will choose not to use such |
| 9 |
kind of list in order not to sacrifice their anonymity. |

It also might be the same person signing with different keys or |
| 20 |
sometimes signing somtimes - not. What's the difference for the other |
| 21 |
guys on the list - in both cases they will get some junk before the |
| 22 |
offending account is stopped. What's the difference for the sender - |
| 23 |
guilty or not, his address gets blacklisted. |

Relatively easy? Well, hereby I give you my blessing and dare you to |
| 40 |
send a "proof of concept" message to this list imposing as me. |
| 41 |
Additional condition: you must have no other access to Gmail than what |
| 42 |
is granted to everyone outside the company. If you succeed I promise to |
| 43 |
sign every single email I send from that point on. :) |
