From the English README and pksd_help.en files:

If you have configured the mail server component of the key
|
|
server, there is one more step you need to take so that the server
|
|
can actually handle mail. In your aliases file (usually one of
|
|
/etc/aliases or /etc/mail/aliases), create the following lines:
|
|
|
|
pgp-public-keys: "|PREFIX/bin/pks-mail.sh PREFIX/etc/pksd.conf"
|
|
pgp: pgp-public-keys
|
|
|
|
Or, if you are using qmail, create these files for use with the
|
|
dot-qmail(5) framework :
|
|
|
|
cd /var/qmail/alias/
|
|
echo "&pgp-public-keys@localhost" > .qmail-pgp
|
|
echo "|preline /usr/local/bin/pks-mail.sh /usr/local/etc/pksd.conf" > .qmail-pgp-public-keys
|
|
|
|
You might also need to add aliases for the mail addresses you
|
|
configured in pksd.conf.
|
|
|
|
You will also need to make sure the permissions on PREFIX/var/incoming
|
|
allow both the mailer and whatever user the pksd program runs as
|
|
to insert and delete files.
|
|
|
|
OpenPGP public email key servers allow users to exchange public
|
|
keys running using the Internet and properly configured e-mail
|
|
servers. This service exists only to help transfer keys between
|
|
PGP users. It does NOT attempt to guarantee that a key is a valid
|
|
key; use the signatures on a key for that kind of security.
|
|
|
|
Each keyserver processes requests in the form of mail messages.
|
|
The commands for the server are entered on the Subject: line.

Sending your key to ONE server is enough. After it processes your
|
|
key, it will forward your add request to other servers automagically.
|
|
|
|
For example, to add your key to the keyserver, or to update your key
|
|
if it is already there, send a message similar to the following to any
|
|
server:
|
|
|
|
To: pgp-public-keys@keys.pgp.net
|
|
From: johndoe@some.site.edu

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.
