You must uncheck "Only sign when encrypt" for the global settings. A user inherits the settings from a domain and a domain inherits from the global settings. If a domain is not specified for a user the user inherits from the global settings.

Okay, i suspected that the sender settings where used if the recipient  
is not found.

Thanks for clarify
