[Sks-devel] PKS network mailsync peers

[Jonathan Oxer]

I've been running an SKS keyserver now for a little while with no
mailsync entry to send updates to the PKS network. Looking through the
various keyservers listed at http://sks-keyservers.net/status/ many of
them seem to have either no mailsync entry at all, or an obviously bogus
entry (such as keyserver.ubuntu.com, which lists "address@hidden" as
the mailsync peer), or list "address@hidden" as
their peer.

I just did some testing with the KJSL address as my mailsync peer and
any update messages I send it are rejected with a message that the
address is invalid:

Dec  6 13:46:56 keys postfix/qmgr[3199]: 4DC1543C190:
from=<address@hidden>, size=15251, nrcpt=1 (queue active)
Dec  6 13:46:59 keys postfix/smtp[21570]: 4DC1543C190:
to=<address@hidden>,
relay=spamfilter.layer42.net[69.36.224.13], delay=3, status=bounced
(host spamfilter.layer42.net[69.36.224.13] said: 550 cuda_nsu 5.1.1
<address@hidden>: Recipient address rejected: User
unknown in virtual alias table (in reply to RCPT TO command))
Dec  6 13:46:59 keys postfix/cleanup[21568]: C81EF43C191:
message-id=<address@hidden>
Dec  6 13:46:59 keys postfix/qmgr[3199]: 4DC1543C190: removed

So, two questions.

1. Does it matter about not having a mailsync setting?

2. If it does matter, is there a particular PKS mailserver that I should
peer with?

Cheers    :-)
