I'm seeing non-subscribed e-mail addresses getting added to the autodel
file for a list and wonder if anyone else is seeing this too.

It seems that a virus forges a list name and sends itself to an invalid
address which gets returned to us.  Our system sees it's intended for a
list and sends it to the LISTSERV software.  LISTSERV sees it's a bounced
message and adds it to the listname.autodel file, even though the address
isn't subscribed to the list.  Is there someway to keep this from
happening?
