Mailfence does not allow signing emails using revoked/expired OpenPGP key pairs/Personal keys – nor do we allow sending encrypted emails using revoked/expired OpenPGP public keys.

The recipient will need to have your OpenPGP public key to be able to validate your digital signature. You can share your OpenPGP public key by email.

Mailfence also allows you to encrypt emails symmetrically with a password.
