maybe i am misunderstanding you, but i get the impression that you think
this kind of message is coming from the subscriber's host. this bounce
is coming from the listserv host which is delivering the mail.

um, i've been getting four hour bounces for as long as i've been running
mailing lists (around five years) and, for the most part, they do not come
from "corporate" mta's - the most common culprit is sendmail.
