Because I am fed up with SPAM of all kinds, and so are my clients.  They
have agreed to this plan, and I am excited to bring this to them.

The more I think about this, the more certain I am that maildrop is the
right place.  A user can manage their own .mailfilter configuration to
allow email from whomever they want, but there will still be a GPG
signature xfilter before the final drop to ~/Maildir.

Sorry if I wasted anyone's time with this thread, I am feeling good
about using maildrop's xfilter now... unless I hear something different.

Thanks.
