GPG probably needs no key servers as users can directly exchange keys in
mutt.

be warned though that the SKS network (where you might get keys from)
has recently been attacked by the poisoning of some high profile keys
that, if fetched and imported, will break your gnupg installation.

You can do this by configuring gnupg itself to do it.  You need to
tell gnupg what key server to use (you probably already did that), and
then you need to add the option auto-key-retrieve in gnupg.conf.

mutt and clear-signing

2019-07-02 Thread tech-lists

Hi,

I'm using mutt v.1.12.0 on freebsd-current with gpgme. In my config, mutt will
verify clearsigned gpg sigs if the public key is on the gpg keyring.

But if the key is unknown, mutt will say the key is unknown, and this is
normal and expected.

What I want to happen is, if the key is unknown i'd like mutt to prompt
something like "get key y/n" or even automatically fetch the key and add
it to the keyring if the public key is valid. What's the best way to
accomplish this?

At the moment I have to open another term and gpg --recv-keys keyid

thanks,
