The problem is that this is a pool of servers and you don't know which one you are currently using. Thus it is only as reliable as the least reliable server in the pool. GnuPG 2.1 uses the Dirmngr to access the keyservers and being a daemon it is statefull and tracks which servers are reliable. Well, that is the plan and most code is there. However, it is not yet complete or sufficiently debugged. > And while pgp.mit.edu might not be the best keyserver, it works... (from > my experience at least). gpg.mit.edu is running SKS for quite some time now; thus I don't think that there is any reason to not use it. Except that if everyone is using this server it will turn slow again. Thus the advise not to use it might in the end be a Good Suggestion. Salam-Shalom, Werner -- Die Gedanken sind frei.
