Hi After rechecking your results
I can see the improvements which are made by using the exact command I did search with
sks.dnsalias.net http://sks.dnsalias.net:11371/pks/lookup?search=matthias.maier&exact=off&op=vindex does return 7 entries http://sks.dnsalias.net:11371/pks/lookup?search=matthias.maier&exact=on&op=vindex does return 3 entries 2nd URL only
return the results which have matthias.mayer in the Mail address and not all
the ones which includes the two words matthias and mayer. I think the “Too
Many Responds“ message isn’t really an error its more a help which
stops spammes to use SKS to get mailaddress. Otherwise it would be a good way
to get reliable addresses because if someone tries enters his or her public key
to a server it probably wont be a fake one. I think it world be better to use a
smaller value as default. I also got a new
question. Using PKS with the command op=get and options=mx the server returned
only the public key. It doesn’t works with SKS. Is there another way to
use the interface (like op=rawget which is used by pgp public key server) or is
the only change to get the whole return value an parse the key out of the html? Thanks a lot for all the
afford Greetings Markus Von: Yaron Minsky
[mailto:address@hidden Right, so this doesn't
fix the "Too Many Responses" issue. If the underlying query has
too many answers, then the extra exact filter on top won't change
anything. It's a configuration variable (set by default to 500), but it
can be raised. As for the Matthias.Mayer query, you clearly didn't search
sks.dnsalias.net, since that machine has
only one entry for "matthias.mayer", and goes to zero when you
specify exact. On 8/15/05, address@hidden

command, it still works to search for domains. Search for "microsoft.com" and the
answer will be "Too many response" Search for "matthias.mayer" and the
answer will be 3 responses I know the responses like, gmx.de, yahoo.de
, do not work but the problem is still not solved, because it's still possible
to look for domains L Greetings Markus Von: Yaron Minsky [mailto:address@hidden]
Try out the server running at sks.dnsalias.net. It
should have support for exact searches now. Right now it's
case-sensitive, though that's easy to change, or to make configurable. On

That's a bug, I guess. The thing to do when you're looking for exact is
to implement a filter of the kind I described. I'll take a look at it
eventually, but it will likely take me a while to get to. I'll happily
accept a patch, though... On

the request is a mail address. It needed indeed some changes in the code, I had
to use a filter over the results. Problem is: It slows down the request very
much, but I guess I have to live with that. But now I got another question: SKS uses more or less the same commands like PKS.
Within PKS you got the possibility to extend the request with
"&options=exact" which would solve all my problems. While
checking the source code I found that there is a parameter like that in SKS
(&exact=on). Correct me if I am wrong, but this command doesn't change
anything, does it? Will this be used in the next version? Greetings Markus Von: Yaron Minsky [mailto: address@hidden] It would require a code change. Probably the
right thing to do is search first using the keywords in the email address, and
then filter down to things that match the email address precisely. On

by an eMail Address. It should only be possible, to get
search results, if you commit a correct MailAddress. It must not be possible to search by keywords, like gmx.de or web.de. Can I configure this feature or do I have to make
changes in the code. Greetings, Markus
