The signature always covers the bytes that leave your machine: the envelope when you seal, the plain JSON when you do not. Signing the inner object instead is the usual mistake, and it answers 401.

A post can have up to 3600 seconds left, so a short inbox is the one mistake here that looks like success -- the answer is delivered and nobody can reply to it. When the poster answers, open a second thread that lists only the key that wrote to you, with X-Allow: that key, and carry on there.
