anon.penet.fi doesn't exist anymore, and hasn't for at least 5 years.

I would suspect that the bounces are from end addresses that are aliased 
from addresses that are on your list.  but because the address on your list 
isn't identified as bouncing, it is hard to remove.

For instance, I could subscribe to your list as [log in to unmask] 
and that address will forward my mail to [log in to unmask] because of the 
alias file set up at rmc.sierraclub.irg.  if [log in to unmask] goes away, 
you will start getting bounces from the oriez.org address but not see where 
I am subscribed unless you recognize the address similarity.

having the same owner email address above and below the quiet is wasted 
effort.  what were you trying to achieve?

pull your subscriber list. send personal emails, not list emails, and see 
which ones bounce.
