[FreeBSD-Announce] FreeBSD Errata Notice FreeBSD-EN-13:03.mfi

[Andrea Rimicci]

Hello,
I'm sorry to make you waste time on me, but I were not able to check 
signature on message from errata-notices at freebsd.org

Can you please point me to, or email me where to retrieve the public 
PGP key for email errata-notices at freebsd.org ?

That email was not found on http://www.freebsd.org/doc/pgpkeyring.txt

Thank you, Andrea
