What does the configuration option "Use old keyservers as fallback" mean? Does this use the new upstream default of keyserver.ubuntu.com? If so, it should probably state explicitly, as the default "old keyservers" URL at pool.sks-keyservers.net/keys.gnupg.net no longer exists.

   Hi Andrew,

   thanks for bringing this up. I have re-opened your discussion to let you know, we have an option ticket to switch the fallback server from sks to ubuntu hockeypuck.

   This has not yet been implemented so currently the functionality sadly is broken.

   All the best,
   Steve

   Hi Andrew,

   this is a short note to let you know that the option to use old key servers as fallback has been fixed.

   The upcoming release of GPG Suite will use https://keyserver.ubuntu.com Hockeypuck server as optional fallback.

   Please test the feature once the new release is out (coming weeks) and feel free to report back should you be seeing any trouble.

   Best,
   Steve
