A more pertinent question would be be why is the superior list should/would be seeing those bounce messages.
My thoughts exactly. Occasionally I have had bounce messages sent by other servers back to some address other than the address in the Return-Path: header - some have gone back to the list, some to the list-owner, etc. IOW, something screwy in one of the thousands of servers I send mail to.
Some MTAs are screwed up. They do not honor the envelope sender address, and instead send bounces back to the "From:" address, the "Reply-to:" address, the "Errors-to:" address, or some other bizarre address of their choosing.
LAN e-mail (especially Microsoft products) appear to be the biggest offenders, but they are not the only ones.
There's not much you can do about MTAs that are screwed up. You just hope that your MLM software is capable of dealing with whatever bletchery and dreckage that they may potentially generate.
