Doubtful.  The reason the -bounces@ address is the recipient is
because it is in people's LookOut! address books as automagically
added when they receive the mail.  If you have VERP on, the
auto-noticed address will be the VERP'd bounce address instead so the
virus will use the proper bounce address anyway.

This happens to me all the time on the FreeBSD mailing lists and it is
excessively annoying that the confirm URL doesn't work.
