The bounce messages are identified as being From:
    "Mail Delivery Subsystem" <[email protected]>

Also, beside the original message (the one claimed to be bounced), there is the 
following additional text attachments in the one I received:

    Reporting-MTA: dns; mx1.incubator.apache.org
    Received-From-MTA: DNS; [68.1.16.123]
    Arrival-Date: Thu, 22 Mar 2012 21:46:34 -0700

    Final-Recipient: RFC822; [email protected]
    X-Actual-Recipient: RFC822; [email protected]
    Action: failed
    Status: 5.1.1
    Last-Attempt-Date: Thu, 22 Mar 2012 21:46:34 -0700

68.1.16.123 is eastrmimpi05.cox.net

I forgot that those little goodies might have interesting information in them. 

Thank you for your helpfulness, Rob.

Subject: Re: [LIST MAIL] False Bounces from ooo-users

To paraphrase.  Some users are getting bounce errors.  You don't know
why.  But it is not coming from us.

The PPMC has zero control of this.  If you think Infra needs to be
involved, they have a list for that, and JIRA.
