This tool allows you to install a public key for your
PGPMail.
What is PGP?
PGP = Pretty Good Privacy TM
How To Create The PGP Mail Key
Before using PGPMail, you will need to create a public key
using your email software. Your email software should have
instructions to create the key.
Once the key is created, you enter the PGP option inside
your control panel and paste the PGP Key text into the box
provided and then click add.
The key code should look similar to the following:
:-----BegiN PGP PUBLIC KEY
BLOCK-----

Necessary PGP Form Fields
There are three form fields that you must have in your form
for PGPMail to work correctly. This is the recipient,
username, and keyname fields.
Field: recipient
Description: This form field allows you to specify to whom
you wish for your form results to be mailed. Most likely you
will want to configure this option as a hidden form field with
a value equal to that of your e-mail address.
Syntax:
<input type=hidden
name="recipient"
">
Field:
username
Description: This form field allows you to specify your
username in the
system. This allows PGPMail to look for the configuration
files to encrypt the mail to be sent to you. You should
replace "your username" with your main username on the system.
Syntax:
<input type=hidden name="username"
value="yourusername">
Field:
keyname
Description: This form field allows you to specify the name
of your public key. This will be the public key that PGPMail
uses to encrypt your mail. You must possess the private key in
order to decrypt the email that is sent. You can get your
public key name by going to the PGP Manager. It is typically
just your email address.
Syntax:
<input type=hidden name="keyname"
value="publickeyname">
Optional PGP Form Fields
Field: subject
Description: The subject field will allow you to specify the
subject that you wish to appear in the e-mail that is sent to
you after this form has been filled out. If you do not have
this option turned on, then the script will default to a
message subject: WWW Form Submission
Syntax:
<input type=hidden name="subject"
value="Your Subject">
To allow the user to choose a subject:
<input type=text name="subject">
Field:
email
Description: This form field will allow the user to specify
their return e-mail address. If you want to be able to return
e-mail to your user, I strongly suggest that you include this
form field and allow them to fill it in. This will be put into
the From: field of the message you receive.
Syntax:
<input type=text name="email">
Field: realname
Description: The realname form field will allow the user to
input their real name. This field is useful for identification
purposes and will also be put into the From: line of your
message header.
Syntax:
<input type=text name="realname">
