I think the freebsd-questions list uses owner-freebsd-questions as a
no-relay/reply-to kind of address. The emails from that list all have
sender defined as owner-freebsd-questions so any bounces back to the
server don't get re-distributed to the list.
In this case, you can flush the bounces from the queue or develop a more
robust filter file (which I'll need to do also) in order to bounce the
message back to the originator of the email, not the mailing list.
