Yes, it is possible to specify groups in your gpg.conf file and there is some documentation in that file: # Group names may be defined like this: # group mynames = paige 0x12345678 joe patti # # Any time "mynames" is a recipient (-r or --recipient), it will be # expanded to the names "paige", "joe", and "patti", and the key ID # "0x12345678". Note there is only one level of expansion - you # cannot make an group that points to another group. Note also that # if there are spaces in the recipient name, this will appear as two # recipients. In these cases it is better to use the key ID. Enigmail provides similar functionality via the Per-Recipient Rules. > Alternatively, is there a way to work with multiple-but-distinct > keyrings without manually renaming the files and restarting the software > when you want to switch?
