This is currently not supported. Blindly trusting a PGP key is security
wise perhaps not a good idea (as you already suggested). We have plans
to work on a better command line interface (CLI), perhaps we can add the
possibility to manage trust from a script. This way you can periodically
run a script which sets the trust level for a key. Adding this
functionality to the existing CLI tools is not difficult if you know
Java so you might have a look.

The code for the CipherMail community edition is mirrored to
