There is nothing you can do about that; those error messages are being sent *directly* to the subscriber (generally whoever posted the item) by mail systems which can't properly read eamil headers. Those are never processed by listserv so there is nothing you can do about it other than set the offending subscriber DIGEST (there will then be only one bounce per day and it WILL come to you, set it NOMAIL (not a good idea if you might forget about it an leave it there for years; do you use RENEW= ?) or delete the sub. NOPOST won't do anything, the errors aren't going through LISTSERV, and neither will a filter as those errors are not going through LISTSERV, they are being sent directly from the non-receiving system to whomever posted the item which wasn't delivered.
