In fact, I have not yet processed most of the signatures as the
machine where I read my mail does not have access to my new key — No
worries, though, I will upload them from my work machine... soon :-)
As for signing, I need only to have a machine able to relay mail
out. That's quite easy to get. On machines with (semi-)permanent
connection, I suggest you take a look at esmtp. All the signatures I
sent were sent using that, from a no-local-mail machine.
Using caff instead of manually uploading does not make it less
burdensome for you all by itself - although signing and sending tens
of signatures is done by running a single command, and it is really
painless. Yes, you have to intervene manually to fetch+send your newly
received signatures, but that's something we are all getting used to
;-) Besides, you cannot control how other people send you their
signatures (hence Christian's mail). And parsing/processing a mbox is
quite automatizable!
So, use caff. Resistance is futile, you will be assimilated.
