You'll probably need PKS-style email syncing even after you've setup your own set recon algorithm to sync with the SKS servers. SKS sends and receives PKS-style email updates. It's pretty simple, you send/receive armored keyblocks of changes and merge the changes you receive into your database. Unfortunately a number of SKS server operators have, IMNSHO, misconfigured their servers and turned this off. The pksd code should give you a good guide on how to implement email exchanges. I'd do the receiving/updating part first -- then we can start sending your server updates. http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/pks/pks/0.9.6/pks-0.9.6.tar.gz >> Another RFE seems to be RFC6637 support - as the keyserver at the >> moment seems unable to accept my key [1].
