Problem
When sending an email to a group of recipients, mail delivery fails and you receive a message similar to the following:
Your Message did not reach some or all of the intended recipients.
Subject: Other
Sent: 2/26/2010 14:37
PGP: Message is blocked by policy - recipient key not found. Error code: [0xa101000c].
Solution
This message is received when PGP Desktop is unable to find a key for one or multiple recipients in group list and then blocks the message from being sent. Beginning in PGP Desktop 10.1, an advanced preference can be added to display the email addresses for recipients whose keys were not found. The email addresses are displayed in the Error Details of the Non-Delivery Receipt as shown below:
PGP: Message is blocked by policy - recipient key not found. Error code: [0xa101000c].
The original message is embedded in this non-delivery report. Click Send Again to see the original text and have the opportunity to re-send the message. If the problem persists and you still receive another non-delivery report, please contact your administrator for details.
