Actually they're perfectly fine...  RFC 822 says that an address 
should be of the form 'word * "@" domain'.  A word is defined as

   1*<any CHAR except specials, SPACE and CTLs>

or a quoted string (which isn't relevant here).  

   specials    =  "(" / ")" / "<" / ">" / "@"  ; Must be in quoted-
               /  "," / ";" / ":" / "\" / <">  ;  string, to use
               /  "." / "[" / "]"              ;  within a word.

   CTL         =  <any ASCII control           ; (  0- 37,  0.- 31.)
                   character and DEL>          ; (    177,     127.)

Since the ASCII value of ' is 39, it falls within the acceptable
range.

If Mailman is bombing on these, it's definitely Mailman's problem.
