I think you are misinterpreting what happened. If you look carefully at
the message (archived at
<http://lists.mailscanner.info/pipermail/mailscanner/2008-March/083357.html>),
I think you'll see that he did not bounce a list message. He replied
to a list message and his reply was flagged by MailScanner on the way
out so the notice we received (with his reply attached) was a notice
to the recipient, not a bounce to the sender.
