BAsically with *any* mailing list software it needs to be configured to 
just take the mail from the mailing list app, and ask questions later. 
Same rule goes for LSoft ListServ, majordomo, etc.  The problem you're 
running into could be almost anything but i'd bet it has something to do 
with bad addresses in the mailing list rather than your mailman version. 
Find out what the address is, go to the list admin interface and using your 
site pass logging and unsubscribe the junk address.
