I have gone to silly lengths to ensure that I am giving them a valid signature. Once I signed the template, and then verified the signature. I then copied it to another machine with a different PGP version and re-verified the signature. Then I mailed it to myself off-site and verified the signature on the remote system to ensure the mail system wasn't breaking something. Finally, I mailed it to [email protected] and cc'd myself on and off-site. Both copies I got back verified fine. The Internic took a few days and then bounced it because they couldn't verify the signature.
