If it is from this address (and this is the address that gets almost all my spam) and it doesn't have a gpg signature, then it's almost certainly not from me. The only times I make exceptions are when I send to automated recipients, such as when setting mailing list requirements. > I wonder if any of my > old keys still exist or is there a statute of limitations? That would depend on whether you limited the key when you made it. > How would I > check and/or are they assigned to an old email box? Or to me, > personally? I'm not sure how you can check that, if you don't have any info about the keys you have used in the past. Perhaps someone else can help. > If I don't, how do I get a key? Ric > 'man gpg' :-) I googled for and found an excellent tutorial on installing gpg and getting it to work with KMail. I know kmail is not your preferred mailer, but the principles would be the same. I don't have the url, but the article was entitled "Using OpenPGP and PGP/MIME with KMail". There's a fair bit of info in the gpg readme files, too. I have to say that Fedora was pretty good at picking up not only the dependencies, but files like pinentry that are needed for convenient use. Anne
