Nope.  This is a feature of the mail server on the remote side.  LISTSERV
does everything it can to ensure that bounce mail goes back to the
owner-listname address for the list, but it can't keep remote mail
servers from ignoring RFC821 and bouncing mail back to the RFC822
From:, Sender:, or Reply-To: address if that's the way the remote mailer
is implemented.
