This is a sendmail issue, not a LISTSERV issue, although obviously it affects
LISTSERV's overall behavior.

You need to use 'FEATURE(nocanonify)' in the sendmail.mc file so that sendmail
will accept all the mail from LISTSERV unconditionally.  If an address is
later found to be undeliverable, then (and only then) should sendmail report
an error bounce back to LISTSERV for further processing.

See the following references from sendmail expert/LISTSERV Admins:
