If you look at the headers in the rejected messages it's a broken
mailserver that's looping messages back to the list, presumably by
delivering based on the To: address instead of the envelope (a common
mistake to make in custom scripts).

(I censored the subscriber's address for politeness, although it can be
readily figured out by the recipients of the bounces)
