I use sendmail as the MTA with the keyserver's SMTP address in the
aliases file, so that the message is piped to sks_add_mail.
sks_add_mail tries to write the message into a <path-to-sks>/messages
directory, where sks will find them up and process them.  In this case,
sks_add_mail runs in the context of the MTA.  To get it all to work, I
created the messages directory with mode 770 and set the group to match
the MTA's group (in my case, mailnull).
