Not really -- the list software is "out of the loop" at the point at
which the misconfigured receiver's mail client "decides" to auto-ack an OOO.
[A small semantic correction: it is NOT the case that even with properly
working and configured lists that "bounce" mail is necessarily sent to
list owners. Instead, it is really the result of processing the
ERRORS-TO= list definition keyword which often does go to list-owners BUT
NOT NECESSARILY. It could just as easily be directed elsewhere.]

You could "force" those malware recipients to DIGEST or INDEX
