I just created a new key pair made a second UID with only containing
my email address and now i don't know how to filter for an export...
Also i have let certified my pub key again by Governikus.

Then i checked posteo's FAQ and now i see (under Point 4.) this:

Diese Kriterien muss Ihr öffentlicher OpenPGP-Schlüssel erfüllen, um
ihn bei Posteo hinterlegen zu können. 

1. Das Namensfeld muss leer sein oder lediglich Ihre E-Mail-Adresse
enthalten. 

2. Der öffentliche Schlüssel darf nur eine E-Mail-Adresse
enthalten. Unterschlüssel (Subkeys) oder mehrere E-Mail-Adressen sind
nicht zulässig. 

3. Ihr Schlüssel muss Ihre Posteo-E-Mail-Adresse oder eine
Ihrer Alias-Adressen enthalten. 

4. Der Schlüssel darf nicht von anderen unterschrieben oder signiert
sein. 

5. Der Schlüssel darf kein Foto oder andere persönliche Daten
enthalten.

If i need email privacy with GnuPG i would use Mixmaster Remailers
with a nym account or Bitmessage and not a german based email
provider, where i have to pay for their service... :-)

So it seem that while it's a good idea with WKD, posteo is no
option for me, when it comes to submitting my pub key there.

Best regards
Stefan
