After each decryption, GPGTools wants to connect to a GPG-server. WHAT FOR EXACTLY?? All my keys are stored locally.
So, for what are you talking home??

    Hey Taddaeus,

    which component are you referring to here? And which server is being contacted?

    Kindly,
    steve

    Just a thought: This could be the "auto-retrieve" option for public keys. Please open GPGPreferences and in the settings check if that option is enabled. If then you have a signed mail for which you do not have the public key to verify the signature, gpg would keep checking the key server until you have that public key. So to stop this, you should probably ask your contact for the missing public key, since it seems that is not on the key servers.

    Hi Steve,

    you are right, it is exactly this "auto-retrieve" option. I disabled it and there is no traffic to gpgtools-server any more. Thank you!

    Kindly
