That's only if the bounce message reaches mailman. In this case,
the culprit is a mail bouncing agent (MBA? ;) which addresses
the bounce to the original sender (the one from the From header)
instead of *any* of the other possible addresses present in
mailman-generated messages that would do the right thing.

G'luck,
