I sign a uid when these uid's address is not bouncing and the person who
claims to belong to this key answers a message encrypted to him sent
to the specific uid. If the person answers to all the mails sent to
him, I can sign all uid's.

The checking if the email is valid and can be read by the keyowner
does weasel's cabot for me => http://www.palfrader.org/#cabot
