For example, you can send a mail to

  pgp-public-keys@keys.[TLD].pgp.net

You have to replace [TLD] by your countries top level
domain.  If you were in Swiss, then you would send the mail to

  pgp-public-keys@keys.ch.pgp.net

To receive a key, you have to give a subject to the mail
which explains, what you like to do: "get thomasb@trash.net"
would give you all keys matching thomasb@trash.net .
So, in short:

  mail -s "get thomasb@trash.net" pgp-public-keys@keys.ch.pgp.net

would give you all keys matching thomasb@trash.net 

Cheers, Thomas
