I've seen exactly one bounco like this -- but only after grepping through lots of mail logs and my junk folder. One bounce is bad enough if it goes back to the whole list -- but that could be excused as a momentary aberration. Any more than that is grounds for reporting the message to postmas...@freebsd.org and having the sender blacklisted: anyone that configures a mail server to send error notifications to an entire mailing list needs a) to spend some quality time studying the SMTP RFCs and b) to step away from the keyboard /now/ as they are clearly not competent to run a mail server on the Internet. Thoroughly recommend using relaydb(1) to teach your mail system where you've received spam from in the past and make sure it doesn't happen again. I've a cron job that processes the contents of my Junk mailfolder through relaydb on a daily basis.
