hello, I am still a noob on PGP and I have a very simple question. Here is my key is created and if for example the person to whom I wrote answers me I would see this answer directly from the GNU client? Because the email address I put to create my kley is obviously a false one, thank you in advance for your answers

The email address used to create the key shouldn't matter I believe, I've used a fake email on my key over the past years and never had any issues. As long as the person you're communicating with has your public key and can encrypt a message through that key, you should just be able to decrypt the message with your private key via the client you're using.

Ok thank you very much it's perfect since I put a non-existent email address. So for the person sending me a msg I would receive the notification directly on the pgp client. After I intend to join whm via pgp I think it is the same principle? Thank you

They should send the message wherever you're communicating, then you simply copy + paste the message over to the client and decrypt there I believe. Not sure how WHM works, as haven't used the site before, but should be relatively simple.
