... that sender uses an invalid sender mail address
Hi,
I am afraid it might be some more complicated. I also see such

even in the confirmation mail that I am a subscriber for that list. I
will ask mailmanager ....

I think any bounce messages from subscriber addresses (e.g. if an
address doesn't exist, or mailbox is full, etc.) go to that address,
instead of to the original sender. The list manager might just ignore
such messages, or some mailing lists I've seen automatically unsubscribe
addresses which continually bounce for more than a certain time.
The copy of a message sent to you has the address you mention in its
headers. If it couldn't be delivered for some reason, your mail server
(or an intermediate server if it didn't even get that far) would send a
message to that address describing the problem. The list software can
then deal with the problem, without bothering the original sender who
probably doesn't want to be bothered with a whole pile of delivery
failure messages every time they post to the list.
Mark.
