You can't. It's an internet thing. The list is trying to send a message to
someone who's address is bad--either they are no longer there, or their
server has crashed, or something like that. The receiving system sends back
an "I cannot deliver mail to XXXX" message to the address in the REPLY TO
field in the header of the incoming message. If the REPLY to is the list
address, the server gets it and sends it to all of us.
In moderated lists, the moderators kill those messages and we never see them.
In lists like TRDEV-L, where the message sender's address, not the list
address, goes in the REPLY TO, they go to the person who made the initial
posting.
Some mail readers can be set to filter out mail from POSTMASTER and similar
senders or to put them in special folders. I've never liked this idea
because the message might come be one I need, I just kill these as they
trickle in.
