Hm, it looks like this one slipped through the cracks and that pastebay is no longer active.
I think what you're asking is how you know if the sender email address matches the email address of the public key you're checking against? You could look up the public key(s) associated with the given email address and then check the signature. Of course, verifying the signature depends on you previously having the public key.
