External Email

The theory is these may be legitimate bounces that just aren't recognized
and the owner may want to see them and may even want to report them to the
developers so the recognizers can be updated, but these days, such bounces
are extremely rare so if one is getting a lot of spam to the list-bounces
address, setting bounce_unrecognized_goes_to_list_owner => no makes sense.

On $LIST-bounces I'm mostly getting mails that should go to the list
address, sinc ethe users somehow managed to bookmark their VERPidfied
sender address as "list address"

Blame their email client’s ‘recently seen addresses’ list; Outlook is 
particularly adept at this, since many of our lists are moderated, or 
member-only and the ‘Your email is awaiting approval’ messages come from the 
[listname]-bounces address. They start typing the address in the To: line and 
it will autofill, and they don’t notice the ‘-bounces’ part while the actual 
address is visible instead of the name the client conjures up for it.
