Re: a PGP signed mail? Has to be spam!

Guys(and girls), the situation sucks. What do you think? And, most important of all, do you see any way to fight this behaviour? Because honestly, I don't.
I frequently get messages from virus filters telling me that my attachment (signature.asc) has been removed as it's thought to contain a virus. For the virus end, it'll take time for people to start coding proper virus scanners that don't recognize .asc as a virus. As far as signed mail getting picked up by spam filters, I would think that talking to the admins would be your best bet. But again, in time spam filters will recognize that pgp signature does not equal spam.
