Are there settings for a list to eliminate the error posts generated by
remote mail servers when LISTSERV attempts to reply to a non-existent
address that comes from a spam at the list address.

That is, a spammer hits the list with mail having a bogus from address,
LISTSERVER replies that the post was in error *for whatever reason) and
sends of the reply to the bogus address, the remote mailserver gets the
reply and says there is no one here by that name and promptly shoots off a
reply to that effect to LISTSERV. LISTSERV gets the error and then sends a
"Delivery Error Report" to the list owners.

I would like to stop these particular error reports.
