Mailcrypt uses this interface by default when attempting to fetch keys

this page.

<h2 class="section">9.2 Key Servers</h2>
<p><em>Key servers</em> are machines with a publicly accessible interface to
an enormous global public keyring. Anyone may add keys to or query this
keyring. Each key server holds a complete copy of the global keyring,
and they arrange to keep one another informed of additions they receive.
</p>
<p>This means you can tell any key server to add your public key to the
global keyring, and all of the other servers will know about it within a
day or so. Then anyone will be able to query any key server to obtain
your public key.
</p>
<p>To add your key to the keyservers, send an Email message to
<code>pgp-public-keys@pgp.ai.mit.edu</code> with a subject line of ‘<samp>ADD</samp>’
and a body containing your public key block. With Mailcrypt installed,
you can just type <kbd>C-c / x</kbd> to insert your public key block
(see section <a href="mailcrypt_1.html#Inserting-Keys">Inserting a Public Key Block</a>) into the body of the message.
</p>
<p>For help with the Email interface to the key servers, send a message
with a subject line of ‘<samp>HELP</samp>’. For a World Wide Web interface to
the key servers, see Brian LaMacchia’s home page at
‘<tt>http://www-swiss.ai.mit.edu/~bal/</tt>’.
</p>
<p>Some other key servers include:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
pgp-public-keys@jpunix.com
</li><li>
pgp-public-keys@kub.nl
</li><li>
pgp-public-keys@uit.no
</li><li>
pgp-public-keys@pgp.ox.ac.uk
</li></ul>
<p>For a complete list, consult any good online repository of PGP
information (see section <a href="#Online-Resources">Online Resources</a>).
</p>
<p>It is strongly recommended that you submit your key to the key servers,
since many humans and programs (including Mailcrypt) may look for it
there. Besides, it takes mere seconds and the pain passes quickly.

<h2 class="section">9.4 Politics</h2>
<p>Cryptography in general, PGP in particular, and free software are
politically somewhat controversial topics. Heck, in the U.S. Congress,
freedom of speech is a controversial topic. Anyway, here are some
organizations you should definitely watch and preferably send lots of
money.
</p>
<dl compact="compact">
<dt> <em>The Electronic Frontier Foundation</em></dt>
<dd><p>The EFF (‘<tt>http://www.eff.org/</tt>’) works to protect civil liberties in
cyberspace. They also maintain an impressive collection of on-line
resources. If you like Mailcrypt so much that you wish you had paid for
it, this is the number one place we would want to see your money go.
The EFF newsgroups, ‘<tt>comp.org.eff.news</tt>’ and
‘<tt>comp.org.eff.talk</tt>’, are required reading for the well-informed.
</p>
</dd>
<dt> <em>The League for Programming Freedom</em></dt>
<dd><p>The LPF (‘<tt>http://www.lpf.org/</tt>’) works to fight software patents,
which threaten to make free software like Mailcrypt impossible.
</p>
</dd>
<dt> <em>The Center for Democracy and Technology</em></dt>
<dd><p>The CDT (‘<tt>http://www.cdt.org/</tt>’) has essentially the same goals as
the EFF, but is more of a lobbying group.
</p>
</dd>
</dl>
<p>Mailcrypt’s remailer support was inspired by the Communications Decency
Act of 1995 (see ‘<tt>http://www.cdt.org/speech/cda/</tt>’ and
‘<tt>http://wikipedia.org/wiki/Communications_Decency_Act</tt>’) and by the
International "Church" of Scientology (see
‘<tt>http://wikipedia.org/wiki/Church_of_Scientology</tt>’).
