Lists don't generally send mail with the actual list submission address
in the SMTP reverse-path. That would just be crazy.
This list, for example, is sending its messages out with reverse-path
exim-users-admin@???. Of course it accepts bounces to _that_
address, just not to exim-users@??? ...
mail from:<>
250 OK
rcpt to:<exim-users-admin@???>
250 Accepted
rcpt to:<exim-users@???>
550 Unknown user, or sender invalid for this user
