Avoiding top-posting ;-)

Yup they could.

When I wrote this originally it was for two mutually trusted servers to
be able to send messages to each other without having to scan the
message - this avoided IP spoofing etc.

My thoughts on this would be to

a) shorten the validity period
b) use a ruleset to stop the message being signed
c) change the options so:

Check Water Mark = Yes
If Water Mark Is Valid = Skip | Is-Definately-Not-High-Spam


Comments on this one???
