-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi!
I followed instructions given on https://support.symantec.com/en_US/article.HOWTO42020.html to submit my public PGP key to PGP Global Directory (https://keyserver.pgp.com) but after uploading the key file I have not received the verification email to the corresponding email address at gmail.com. (I also checked the spam folder.) After a few hours I tried to repeat the submission but the page gave the following message: "A pending key submission is already in progress for email addresses on the submitted key. The instructions in the previous verification emails must be followed in order to make a change, or you may resubmit this request in 24 hours." which shows that the server actually knows about my submission. Has anyone seen this recently? Regarding this issue I wanted to open a case at Symantec Support (as it seems that the PGP Global Directory is maintained by the Symantec Corporation since they acquired the PGP Corporation in 2010) but I was not able to do that as the PGP Global Directory was not listed among their products. :-( Shame on you Symantec ) BTW, I would like to publish my PGP keys to the PGP Global Directory as it offers a better protection against harvesting email addresses by spammers, as explained on the following pages: https://pgp.mit.edu/faq.html Q. 6. I think spammers got my email address from the PGP keyserver. What can I do? https://keyserver.pgp.com/vkd/VKDHelpPGPCom.html Will I get spam if I use the PGP Global Directory? Harvesting email addresses from OpenPGP key servers is quite easy. Try the following commands: gpg --keyserver hkp://pool.sks-keyservers.net --search-keys rms gpg --keyserver hkp://pool.sks-keyservers.net --search-keys rpr You can also try these queries e.g. at https://pgp.mit.edu - -- rpr. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJV2EjBAAoJEKlXjuYlVL8IK9wQAJUoVvEok/KAd4koZnjAEz6p CK1Gc4p0SbMKGcpIOHOSUBX19wsQj/QhhSOOdJPt/JynSPQcBcGrCovnkukQ0S1e qTA5ZTNlzbVoaEd4RIjC+1r1+DJVT1BffcT2dWzjBpCrMKkDp3smiZslYviKhGNB 9Xfy1oonUFqLu7q/Ppm4dG+ntwZUg8ecdj917US8XnXobrdrLSplv1zGysLbR99b wQMpDUOEqYtEupYUR6bE9Y7JZd+hMouhXLNRG3dkHqIZQCpwZYEcUyto9WbrQAvk Fs1Ye/lRkH9vSyVWM1TdrwW00MwLGfS4MYaMGV7HeJFoxcfY2Qyg0ec33sDyqAQn CsGsCJt2fGhu1sIHSCfB/OVp+q/tkXhFLVelDekVZeXM1BlWYENGlQ1HaXg3gWe+ fbJtjC165+YaY9xcphUxwS9NW87V+uS4b1sFtnZDkDiRM2WrHuAI0bhYfDuhaCZU zuqyOFzkVlgf78as0w8Tx5gkbj7rBYDejYk2bcRUOHBIrP2aCHS7eGIszk1n4Y89 X3k/pQSsnDwSvB5s5fsp7aAYBclTdzsAdgB1VFQruhaql+vgqB5fqnYGVwYOBuhQ G6T6jf1PP+ZD8pqS03HjJFpar1Gl4MtjPVXepQ+F32F/rKfsc5la9rsf/CErnqR0 jKsSPGB3Nzgr+9XuLkPx =CcKg -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
