  It is possible that a mailloop has been created. In this case there
  must be subscriber whose address bounces the mail back to the list instead
  to owner-list address. Check some of the error message in their header
  and see what is common. I had a case when address in *.nl was bouncing
  the mail back to the list. Interesting to note was then even messages
  sent to members in the USA were going through *.nl site, so that is how
  I figured out which address was in question and I set that particular
  address to NOMAIL. In few hours (until all the messages initiated got
  cleared) the bouncing stopped. I was very brief above, if you wish contact
  me privately and forward me some of the errors you get so I might help you
  and see if there is similarity with my case of few months back.
