It sounds to me like it's someone spamming the listname-signoff or listname-unsubscribe address for the list.

There's not much the list owner can do about that short of writing an inbox filter to automatically discard these when they arrive.

All of these bounces are sign-off requests and come back to Listserv because they are not valid addresses. Meaning Listserv tries to send the subscriber a notification saying "you are not currently subscribed to this list", however the message gets bounced because the email address doesn't even exist.
