	If some troll is going to forge someone else's e-mail address, 
that would get them through the subscriber-only filter anyway.

	The ability to take any kind of corrective action in response is

are not cooperative.

	Yup.  PGP sign everything, and make sure that your keys don't 
ever get stolen or compromised.  That makes it much harder for 
someone to successfully impersonate you.
