Bug#354968: pgp-tools email from localhost, getting trapped in spam filters

Package: signing-party
Version: 0.4.4-2

Hi,
the script gpg-mailskeys sends its signed keys via localhost, that is from the dial-up host. Most ISP's and free email providers (such as mine) block such mail, however, as it is common for worms or viruses to emit spam that way. Please change it to use some kind of smarthost.

These are the faulty lines:
echo -n  sending
/usr/sbin/sendmail -ti $TEMPFILE
rm $TEMPFILE
echo  done.

Thank you.

Bug#354968: pgp-tools email from localhost, getting trapped in spam filters

Hello Johannes,

 Hi,
 the script gpg-mailskeys sends its signed keys via localhost, that is
 from the dial-up host. Most ISP's and free email providers (such as
 mine) block such mail, however, as it is common for worms or viruses
 to emit spam that way. Please change it to use some kind of smarthost.

Thank you for your email. We've recently changed the tool 'caff' to be
able to use such a smarthost, but for gpg-mailkeys that's less simple
because it doesn't use a library that already supports such a thing but
instead is just shell script.

My suggestion for you would be to configure your mail transport agent to
use a smarthost for delivering the mail. For postfix, this is done by
setting the 'relayhost' parameter in main.cf.

I will check out whether it would be an idea to have gpg-mailkeys use
the same library for sending mail like caff does. It would reduce the
amount of code in the package. I can't promise when I'll do that,
though.


Thijs
