I thought about that, so I tested both possibilities for the envelope sender of
the bounced message: envelope from me (yes, I am a member of the list) or
envelope from the sender of the original message (I tested both cases: member or
not-member of the list); in all tests the message disappears.

I got feedback from the sysadm: indeed the message is discarded by mailman:

  Aug 12 13:43:44 2008 (6025) Message discarded, msgid: <20080720101847.GA4783 at pegasus>

Thank you very much! Let me know if I can help you somehow (reminder: I'm using
mailman version 2.1.9)
