I don't know. The only category from that table that applies is "header
inject", as far as I can tell. All other categories won't be implemented
by posteo, because they belong into the user-device or -app.

Yes.
You can chose to have the key published, or not. If published, the key
is available via DANE, and WKD (and a WKD-like, human-readable URL).

Yes. Users can upload their key and only have it used for the inbound
encryption feature.

To have the key *and* the "prefer-encrypt: mutual"-bit included in the
header, both features (publishing and inbound-encryption) must be active
for a user.


Cheers, Pablo
