[Mailman-Users] Emails sent directly to "bounce" address

I have one list that has suddenly been receiving an increase in  
bounces, and in looking at the bounce emails they appear to be spam  
sent directly to the bounce address (ex. list1- 
bounces at listdomain.org). From what I can see this email (with  
attachments, sometimes virus/trojans) then gets sent as a bounce to  
the admins. The admin for this list is receiving all of these emails,  
with attachments, and is getting concerned about the volume of  
infected attachments she's getting.

Is there any way to filter these emails sent to the bounce address so  
that if they are spam they just get discarded. I do have filters set  
up for emails sent to the list that filter them out, but since these  
don't actually go to the list, but to the bounce address, they don't  
appear to be run through that filter system.

Any recommendations on what to do about this, short of creating a new  
list, would be appreciated.

An example of the header from an email is pasted below:
