Keyserver

[gpg.20.subu at spamgourmet.com]

Hi

I use Win XPP + Moz 1.7.8 + Enigmail + GPG

I tried verifying the signature your message below with Mozilla mail
client + Enigmail i.e.

- I download the message from IMAP server
- click the pen IKON (with a ?)
- I get a Enigmail pop up saying "Unverified signature" etc..
- I click yes button to import signature
- I choose keyserver.kjsl.com (I've also tried
http://keyserver.kjsl.com)
- Every time I get a "socket error : ec = 10054"

- I get same results with *some* other keyservers as well

Where am I wrong

- Is there an easier / better way to retrieve keys once and for all 


Regards

Subu
