As already pointed out, there are (at least) two ways to avoid an unprotected secret key (or the corresponding pass phrase, respectively) on disk: - Keep the passphrase only in RAM (e.g. entering it when starting mailman or by using gpg-agent) - Having the secret key on a smartcard Stefan. _______________________________________________ Mailman-Developers mailing list Mailman-Developers@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-developers Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-developers%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-developers/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9
