Hi Jean-Luc,

Try the following:

add "keyserver-options auto-key-retrieve" to ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf so that
it Balsa doesn't have to prompt you.

Set your private key to ultimate trust via the trust command.

$ gpg --edit-key <PRIVATE_ID>

$ gpg -‐check‐trustdb

This will rebuild your entire trustdb non-interactively. It might help
to set all the keys that you've personally signed to full trust
beforehand in order to generate more meaningful values.

Cheers,
