The "listname-bounce" localpart is used for automatic bounce
detection. Have a look at:

Bounce detection is an integral part of every mailing list managing
software: It allows users whose email addresses are not valid any
longer to be removed from the list without the need for a human being
to manually look at logfiles to determine this.
