I don't know if the problems are even related.
Probably unrelated. The "signature not checked" is not an error, but normal operation: the key you imported has a signature from a key you don't have. It's just a note so you can go out and get this other key if you care. The "mpi too large" is a problem, but likely on the sender side. Do you know what program they are using to encrypt?
