The mailing list is the envelope sender of mail sent to the list. For
example the envelope sender of the mail to which this is a reply is
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
which is correct and compliant with the standards. A standards
compliant MTA will send any DSN (Delivery Status Notice) to that
address.

If any mail is rejected or bounced (ie, initially accepted for
delivery but later a DSN is returned indicating a delivery failure)
then that is a delivery failure. If you do not like what your
receiving mail systems reject or bounce that is not a Mailman problem.
