I can't tell much from the mail you enclosed which came from the list.
What you have to see is the message that arrives to the list before it
is resent from the list.

I suspect the reason that it gets through is that the incoming message
has an envelope from the original subscribed address and that is why
it is accepted for the list.

If you don't have too many digest subscribers, you could e-mail each
one individually and see which address returns this bogus bounce and
then just unsubscribe it.

Or, you could send one mail with Bcc: to all digest subscribers. If I
am right, this will produce a bounce and the envelope sender or some
header will identify who it was sent to.
