Can't spam be repelled by not forwarding email not encrypted to the remailer's key?
In fact, spammers currently *do* send mail encrypted to the remailers' keys. It's a pain in the ass trying to filter the damn stuff out.

First I've heard that. Frankly, I'm suprised. One solution, which I've long advocated, is for the remailer to drop mail which has an unencrypted body after it's applied it's decryption key. Provided this is an announced policy, substantially increases the protection of the mail and the remop. It does mean that only people capable of using encryption can receive mail via the remailer, but that's probably a *good* thing.
