Hello all,

I want to use Enigmail within Mozilla mail. I enabeled it by creating a keypair. But now I want to upload my key to the keyserver. I read that I cannot send it directly from Enigmail to the server, so I tried to use GPG. This is what is happening:

Do you really want to send all your public keys to the keyserver? (y/N) y
gpgkeys: WARNING: this is an *experimental* HKP interface!


What can I do to send my key to the public Keyserver? Hope to hear from you!

Regards,
Hendry

You can cut and paste your public key manually - http://www.keyserver.net/en/addkey.html

you might want to check what the keyserver in ~/.gnupg/options is set as, some of them are outdated/broken.
Code:
keyserver x-hkp://pgp.mit.edu

has been working fine for me.

or
Code:
gpg -a --export <yourusername>

will generate an ascii-armored version of your public key, which you can then copy and paste into the appropriate textarea on a keyserver website (e.g. http://pgp.mit.edu )
