Are you manually serving the addresses off?  If so, and if you have 
the 2003a Level Set of LISTSERV 1.8e or later (under the new 
numbering system LISTSERV 14.2 or later) then you can use 'QUIET 
SERVE email@address DROP' to instruct LISTSERV to quietly discard any 
future messages from the email address in question.  (This is 
described at 
<http://www.lsoft.com/manuals/1.8e/relnotes/v18e-2003a.html> under 
'USABILITY: New DROP argument for SERVE OFF command'.)

If you have LISTSERV 14.3 or later, you can also make use of a 
configuration option to drop all spam notifications.  See 
<http://www.lsoft.com/manuals/1.8e/relnotes/LISTSERV14.3-Release-Notes.html#bouncevirus> 
for details of this.

I hope one or the other of these options will do what's needed.

Thanks,
