To get a key by email address you need to either use the web interfaces on the key servers (http://the.earth.li/) or if you are running a recent version of gpg(1) (more recent than the one in Debian 3.0) you can use <tt>gpg --search-key ''email@address''</tt>.
Also for recent versions of gpg(1) (1.2.1 and later) you can also do <tt>gpg --refresh-keys</tt>to download any new signatures for all of the keys in your keyring.
