Any way to tell someone its signature is used in third party signing?

This could be described a third-party signature, where test.com should not be 
considered authoritative for example.com, just as ads.example.com should not 
be. While test.com may allow acceptance of example.com's email, its signature 
should not directly assure recipients that use of the example.com domain is not 
being spoofed. Socially engineered attacks can easily acquire a signature from 
an otherwise reputable domain.
