Is there any reason you can't use one of the usual keyservers (e.g.
pgp.mit.edu) or is that against corporate policy? Note that your
internal LDAP server will probably not be accessible to correspondents
outside the organisation (even if there were a standard way to do
this), which reduces the potential benefits of encrypted email.
