But all is likely not lost. If you can open Enigmail Preferences, go to the Keyserver tab, and specify only keys.openpgp.org as the keyserver. That way, if you manage to fix gpg, Enigmail won't break it again. Also see "100% CPU usage endles loop of gpg --list-keys" <https://dev.gnupg.org/T3972> for background. About hardening and fixing gpg, see <https://gist.github.com/rjhansen/67ab921ffb4084c865b3618d6955275f> at Mitigations and Repairs. Also see <https://dkg.fifthhorseman.net/blog/openpgp-certificate-flooding.html>. You'll very likely need to use gpg in terminal. I suspect that GPA may be just as wedged as Enigmail. Maybe someone could post a step-by-step guide for fixing gpg. For people who don't commonly use it in terminal. I suppose that I could import one of the poisoned keys in a fresh VM, and explore how to fix it. But I'm sure that someone reading this could just dash it out. _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
