I just found that pgpsendmail will do the nice trick. but I don't understand
the following process:

I m using linux (redhat 9.0) to add pgp keys after created RSA keys using
the command "pgp -kg".
But the following msg appeared when I typed the pgp -ka keys.asc command:

root@redhat [9:30pm] [...local/pgp]# !pgp
pgp -ka keys.asc
No configuration file found.

Keyfile contains:
  20 new key(s)

One or more of the new keys are not fully certified.
Do you want to certify any of these keys yourself (y/N)?

why should I need to certify these keys? I only want to certify the
authorized keys. Where are all the above content hiding? Can I remote it?

Thanks
