[OT] OpenPGP Public Key Servers

Hi list.

I'm using Seahorse (from Extras) as my GPG Agent and it works
wonderfully, allowing me to sign/encrypt/decrypt things in Nautilus with
a simple right click, as well as automatically verifying/decrypting
OpenPGP messages. It seems that if the public key of the sender is not
in my keyring, this fails

However, it unfortunately did not install a set of "default" key servers
with it. I've added MIT's key server[1] there, as that is where
I've published mine over the past couple of years. This still leaves a
lot of messages on this list and others that Evolution cannot verify
because it can't retrieve the sender's public key. 

I've search on google and added both subkeys.pgp.net and keys.pgp.com
to its preferences, as those seem to be the only ones that are recent;
but this still does not help much. I was under the impression that most
key servers around the world regularly sync themselves, but this does
not seem to be the case. :-(

Thus, I ask the list, which key servers should I add there? Which are
the most commonly used? Thanks for your time and input.
