Since the problem seems to be exhibited not by the poster, but by the
receiver's email system, who effectively "spoofs" the poster's address,
if I wanted to be ruthless, I'd have my list "boycott" broken sites by
using list defintion keyword

* FILTER= ALSO,*@*bounce.domain

If I was feeling adventuresome, I'd allow userids@*bounce.domain to be
subscribed (by owner), yet either in DIGEST, INDEX, or NOMAIL mail
(useful for the WEB interface).
