Server indicated failure for sending keys

debian@osboxes:~/$ gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --send-keys 8D32FF6AEEB7BA37
gpg: sending key 8D32FF6AEEB7BA37 to hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com
gpg: keyserver send failed: Server indicated a failure
gpg: keyserver send failed: Server indicated a failure

I tried to generate gpg keys for myself. I do not know if I did correct or not when I do 

debian@osboxes:~/$ gpg --list-keys
/home/debian/.gnupg/pubring.kbx

Enter the command as follows. If it doesn't work, consider looking into any firewall/proxy you may have running that may be interfering with the connection.

gpg --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --send-key 8D32FF6AEEB7BA37980265BC6D8749B0B57526888D32FF6AEEB7BA37

This will ensure that port 80 gets used which is most assuredly open.

OTM
