The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Steve Shipway <address@concealed>]

We do not use PGP at our site, since (as an educational establishment) we can get free S/MIME certificates; however I can certainly see the benefit of supporting it, as many people do use it.  In scenari, a message signed with a trusted PGP key should be equivalent to an SMIME signed message, so maybe it would be possible to let the 'smime' case in a scenario refer to PGP-signed messages, as well?  Signature verification could be done at the same step as S/MIME verification is done.  If someone does not want to enable PGP on their system, they could simply give an empty keyring...

So, although it would not be used at our site, I think this would be a good feature to add to the Sympa functionality.  I'm not sure how much work would be involved in adding it -- possibly some of these complainers could be inveigled to sponsor the work :)
