Can somebody suggest a simple receipe to handle 'get pgp keys'?
I am using procmail v3.11pre7 and gnupg 1.0.0
Well, I'd start by dumping the key out in the format you want to export it; I
would _not_ run gpg to export the key in direct response to the email. So e.g.
gpg -a --export <your-key-id> >$HOME/.gnupg/mykey.txt
This reduces it to problems nicely illustrated with examples in procmailex(5);
extrapolating from them, perhaps
:0 h c
* !^FROM_DAEMON
* !^X-Loop: your(_at_)own(_dot_)mail(_dot_)address
* ^Subject: get pgp keys$
| (formail -r -I"Precedence: junk" \
-A"X-Loop: your(_at_)own(_dot_)mail(_dot_)address" ; \
cat $HOME/.gnupg/mykey.txt) | $SENDMAIL -t
(untested) A couple of comments:
(1) That's pretty strict; it requires that the command be precisely "get pgp
keys", nothing else, and only in the subject (ignores the body). That may
be a good idea; make it too tolerant and it would have barfed back a key
at you for your posting to this list. Which brings up another one...
(2) Make _certain_ this is after all your rules that file your mailing list
traffic into other folders!
