farnz -- it has occurred to people before, as have other public-key-based auth methods.

The problem is key distribution. Without solving that, it'll help a small number of techies correspond with their existing groups of friends -- and that problem is already solved, for example with SA's autowhitelist. It's the mail from someone *new*, or from some automated mail-generating app, that's the problem.

(BTW we have a bug open in SpamAssassin's bugzilla to implement opportunistic PGP keychecking using the user's keyring anyway, if you fancy helping out ;)
