Hi, thanks for your answers.
> That's fine, but the question of course remains: why not upload keys? Since we use gpg only inside our company it is not necessary to publish our public keys. Of course it would not be a big problem, but it would raise some questions: 1. Perhaps we get more spam mails. 2. We cannot read encrypted mail on all devices (e.g. mobile device). So we do not offer encrypted mail to our clients. But if our public keys are online, this is an invitation to send us encrypted mail. If a clients downloads a key and sends an encrypted mail, we probably have to reply that we cannot read the mail at the moment. That wouldn't be very professional in our view. And a legal consideration: In Germany if you run a business and publish an email address, you are obligated to check your account regularly. This idea could perhaps be applied to encryption, too. To sum up: There is not need to publish the keys and publication raises some questions. The easiest way for us would be to make sure that my colleagues cannot publish our public keys to the key servers.
