for the archive:

email updates don't work as well. I set up three systems with a SKS system
each:

+ system A and system B are configured to gossip with each other, thus,
simulating the normal outside SKS peers / SKS cloud,
+ system C is my local installation, that must not talk to the outside,&
+ system B sync's via mail to system C (oneway).

If I upload a key to system B, it is sync'ed to C. If I upload a key to
system A, it is sync'ed to B, but not forwared to C. So, mailsync is out
as well.

I also got the feeling that the mailsync was meant for when a  key is *directly* uploaded to a server, it is emailed out, not when it receives keys via the recon/whisper partners (Else every one will sent out emails with each and every sync, ie. >100mails/days…)

I think the (wish list) option to have a 1-way sync setting, ie. Any and all keys you receive, you forward in that direction, no matter whether that server have the key or not, ie. no-recon/whisper, just: “I’ve received this key, here it is”
