Hello Spike, Actually it depends on the digital sign used. If a thawte or Verisign digital signature is used it means the sender took the time to enter his/her password and send from his client. That is the purpose of such devices. So long as it must be entered when the email is sent and for each it should be valid and as such does mean that the sender is legitimate and using proper keys. Now in "The bat" I should think that would be even better. Unfortunately there are those keyboard capture virus/trojans out there ,however, I am pretty sure those would not work on the passwords entered for Certs because not only the key presses are needed. Also the mapping keys. The Bat should nicely handle that! I have to say if every email was authenticated and every IP address we would have a lot less hacker problems in general! Imagine every IP traceable to a digital cert owner all traffic accountable and thereby safer by Id-ing each and every IP address. Firewalls could then handle abuse rather than waste time with it.
