Thanks, very appreciate for the explaination. Now I have downlaoded pgp and
pgpsendmail. I intalled pgp, but I m confused with the following process:

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)?

I don't undrstand why would I need to certify any of these keys?? and where
they come from in my system? I only concern signing the keys that I supposed
to... - the authorized keys, not these strange keys???

thanks
