Really appreciate your help and give me an idea how to get the key from the pgp server.. I only used Ken's key for my last installed version 2.3.16
gpg --verify cyrus-imapd-2.3.16.tar.gz.sig
gpg: Signature made Mon 21 Dec 2009 09:34:05 PM HKT using DSA key ID 6581B5F1
gpg: Good signature from "Kenneth S Murchison <murch@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>"
gpg: WARNING: This key is not certified with a trusted signature!
gpg: There is no indication that the signature belongs to the owner.
Primary key fingerprint: 11C3 B2A6 BF9C F06C 216F 76E7 D0AB 95C1 6581 B5F1
It is hard to find those latest information regarding verification of the software integrity. Thanks.
