Well other than the fact that they ae well-known/documented addresses for all lists at all sites, I suggest that those incoming emails not be rejected, but silently discarded IF you are dead set on changing something.  Back-scat-er [sic] to a third-party innocent just propagates the problem.

Better to have your own system bit-bucket.
