No, resend doesn't look at 'mungedomain' when comparing addresses to the
'restrict_post' list.

Since 'mungedomain' doesn't have any impact on this, these folks are
subscribed incorrectly if they're bouncing. Probably their mail appears
to come from xxx@isp.com but they're subscribed as just xxx, so of
course they don't match. Unsubscribe and resubscribe them correctly.
