You're referring to the email interface to the keyserver, right?

A few[*] of us are running code for that on our servers.

Peter Pramberger wrote the code and it's documented on his site:
http://www.pramberger.at/peter/software/projects/pgp-ekp/

I've attached a tarball of my dev copy. It's Peter's 0.8.2 with a couple
patches to put an extracted key into own attachment and some mime-type
tweaks. Also included are additional translations for Spanish and Catalan.

I'd be happy to coordinate translations to other languages.

I handle incoming key updates and user requests in .procmailrc

Just filtering on the allowable subject lines seems to cut the SPAM on
my server.

Enjoy,
