Hello,
I'm using GPG with Mailmate on MacOS 10.12 and I get with one recipient the following error:
While trying to send an encrypted message and get the following error:
KEY_CONSIDERED xxxxxx 0
KEY_CONSIDERED xxxxxx 3
INV_RECP 0 [email blocked]
FAILURE encrypt 53

The key is valid, but I can't encrypt, what to do?

Please note, with AppleMail I just get the error, Mail can't be encrypted.

Thanks
Matthias

   Hi Matthias,

   welcome to the GPGTools support platform. Sorry you are having problems using GPG Suite.

   Please excuse the late reply, we are deeply sorry for not responding earlier. The amount of feedback we received in regards to the GPG Suite 2018.4 release was overwhelming - both positive and negative. We are doing our best to catch up as fast as we can.

   We do not develop Mailmate nor the plugin for that mail client.

   Regarding Mail.app and GPG Mail, could you send a screenshot of the error message you are seeing there?

   Best,
   Steve

   Hi Steve,

   Thank you for your answer. imho this is not an issue of the MailPlugin
   or the implementation of MailMate, it has something to do with GPG
   itself.
   I`d just like to understand what’s the meaning of error 53 (I hate
   magic numbers) as I couldn’t find any answers anywhere and it seams no
   one knows, what this error means.

   Thanks again
   Matthias

   It seems your OpenPGP Key and or Subkey may have expired. This KB-article explains how to extend the expiry date of your Key and Subkey in case it will soon expire or has already expired.

   Best regards,
   Steve
