I'm hypothesising here, but my first guess would be that some person on
the list has a broken 'vacation' program or similar that is sending
stuff to the list, wit broken headers.  Most likely, it's sending it
back with the From: still set to Listserv, rather than the person running
the 'vacation' program.

Second guess would be some broken MTA that is getting the SMTP headers
(MAIL FROM: and RCPT TO:) confoozled with the RFC822 headers.  But I've
not had my morning caffeine, so I can't think of the full scenario that
would cause this to happen... ;)
