Hello,

for one of our email addresses we currently have two PGP keys: One that will expire within the next days and a new one.

In the settings for this user (email address) I have selected the new key as signing key, but the recipients of the emails report that ciphermail (V 5.5.3) is still using the old PGP key to sign the emails.  
The idea is to distribute the new key before the old one expires.

Thanks for any hints & suggestions,

Stefan

Can you attach a screenshot of the PGP signing key selection page for the user?
