Hi everyone, Periodically there is a discussion on this list about whether having your key on a keyserver will result in more spam. My feeling on this is that you might get more spam, but it's a drop in the bucket compared to the usual onslaught that streams in daily.
That being said, I just got my first piece of spam that was definitely caused by presence on a keyserver: Begin forwarded message: > From: "Stephen Lee" <stephen...@ymail.com> > Date: May 26, 2010 2:17:27 AM EDT > To: ds...@jabberwocky.com > Subject: enquiry : wwwkeys.ch.pgp.net:11371 > Reply-To: "Stephen Lee" <stephen...@ymail.com> > > > We found your contact Email address from wwwkeys.ch.pgp.net:11371 > My name is Stephen and I come from China, Hong Kong. > (spam contents snipped - it goes on to offer to sell me LCD screens for my "retail store, shop, boutique or any public area") David
