If by this you mean mail that transits a list has an invalid signature
from you, then the likely cause is that the list is altering the message
(e.g., tagging the Subject: or adding a footer) that invalidates your
signature. There's nothing to "fix" other than trying to convince the
list operator to turn those features off.

Really, though, the list can just sign the message with its own domain,
and people can decide to trust that signature instead of yours.
