You don't install rpms from sources that are not well-known to be reputable - Mandrake mirrors, Sourceforge sites, PLF mirrors are OK, and there are others. If you don't know the site, ask on the lists whether others can vouch for it. Pretty straightforward, really. After all, if someone was wanting to put a Trojan into an rpm they could just as easily add a signature, so knowing your sources is the best safeguard.
