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.
