-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Steve, You need to check your gpg.conf file in the .gnupg directory to let your system do automatic key retrievals from a keyserver. When you specify a keyserver, you can theoretically assume that if it is published, you will find it. I say theoretically because there are one or two bad news servers which are broken and do not share with others, or deliver defective keys. Everyone nowadays seems happy with this one: subkeys.pgp.net Once a key is retrieved it will be added to your public keyring and you will not have to retrieve it again, so the network overhead is not as heavy as you might think.
