Anything sent to owner-listname@whatever is, by definition, an error
message.  The purpose of owner-listname@whatever is to receive error
messages.  The material is being properly handled.

owner-listname@ is NOT the same as listname-request@ nor the private
address of a listowner.  It is also not the address for posting to the
list.

owner-listname is the address for list related errors and nothing else.
