GPG-MAILKEYS(1) General Commands Manual GPG-MAILKEYS(1)
NAME
gpg-mailkeys - sends emails containing keys to their owners
SYNOPSIS
gpg-mailkeys id...
DESCRIPTION
gpg-mailkeys sends the owners of the keys listed on the command line a mail each, containing their public key. After signing, you can use
this tool to send everyone the new signatures they just got.
If you're interested in encrypting the signature before it's sent, in order to verify that the associated address actually belongs to the
key owner, you should check out caff
OPTIONS
None
ENVIRONMENT
NAME Set the name to use when sending messages
EMAIL Set the email address to use when sending messages
SUBJECT Set the subject of the messages you send
TEXT Set the body text of the messages
SENDMAIL_ARGS
Set arguments to pass to /usr/sbin/sendmail. This can be useful to set credentials in order to authenticate to an smtp server
when using ssmtp for example.
FILES
The behavior of gpg-mailkeys can be updated through some files available in the user home directory.
Thus, ~/.gpg-mailkeysrc allows the user to overwrite the default value for the above environment variables, and any text in ~/.signature
will be appended to the end of the body text of the message.
