Brent's instincts are right in that there is no automatic bounce
handling mechanism, but the list owner should get a messahe about the
bounce. Things to check:

  1) The alias owner-list points to list-owner (if you choose to use the
     list-owner alias)

  2) The sender keyword in the config file is set to list-owner or
     owner-list.

If neither of the above apply, try setting the "debug" keyword to true
and look at the output of /usr/ucb/mail -v list" for clues about the
envelope address and the message headers.
