Hello Johannes,

Thank you for your email. We've recently changed the tool 'caff' to be
able to use such a smarthost, but for gpg-mailkeys that's less simple
because it doesn't use a library that already supports such a thing but
instead is just shell script.

My suggestion for you would be to configure your mail transport agent to
use a smarthost for delivering the mail. For postfix, this is done by
setting the 'relayhost' parameter in main.cf.

I will check out whether it would be an idea to have gpg-mailkeys use
the same library for sending mail like caff does. It would reduce the
amount of code in the package. I can't promise when I'll do that,
though.
