That address is used as the RFC821 MAIL FROM: address which is in the
outbound list messages sent from Listserv. Any receiving mailer that needs to
bounce a message back to the originator is suppose to send it to that address.
When Listserv sees inbound mail addressed to owner-listname@  it sents it to the
owner of that list as a probable bounce/error. You can see that address if you
view the full headers of one of your list messages. It shows under Return-Path:
Viewing full or all headers should be an option in your mail client.
