Are these the keys you need to verify the current mail? You don't need
a script for that, GPG can do it for you.

With you script you could easily do so, since gpg(1) returns an error
if the key is not found.

The keyservers are supposed to be share their data. If you don't want
to query a server with a special customer base, this won't get any
better results.

private power to the point where it becomes stronger than the democratic
state itself. That in its essence is fascism - ownership of government
by an individual, by a group or any controlling private power.
