Using the E-mail interface to the keyserver


NOTE!

This keyserver is here to help transfer public keys between users.  It
does NOT attempt to guarantee that a particular public key is a valid
key; use the signators on the key for that kind of security.  This
service can be discontinued at any time without prior notification.

This keyserver processes requests in the form of mail messages.  The
commands for the server are entered on the Subject: line.

        To: pgp-public-keys@e5.ijs.si
        From: johndoe@some.site.edu
        Subject: help

For example, to add your key to this keyserver, or to update your key if it is
already there, send a message similar to the following to this keyserver:

        To: pgp-public-keys@e5.ijs.si
        From: johndoe@some.site.edu
        Subject: add

  -----BEGIN PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK-----

        

        -----END PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK-----

COMPROMISED KEYS:  Create a Key Revocation Certificate (read the PGP
docs on how to do that) and mail your key to the server once again,
with the ADD command.

Valid commands are:

Command                Message body contains
---------------------- -------------------------------------------------
ADD                    Your PGP public key (key to add is body of msg)
INDEX                  List all PGP keys the server knows about (-kv)
VERBOSE INDEX          List all PGP keys, verbose format (-kvv)
GET                    Get the whole public key ring (split)
GET userid             Get just that one key
MGET regexp            Get all keys which match /regexp/
LAST days              Get the keys updated in the last `days' days
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Examples for the MGET command:

        MGET michael         Gets all keys which have "michael" in them
        MGET iastate         All keys which contain "iastate"
        MGET F605A5|3A738B   Those two keyid's

Just try not to use ``MGET .*'' -- use ``GET'' instead.
