My guess is that your list members are sending their posts to
listname-owner at ... instead of to listname at ... (or possibly to
listname-bounces at ... if you receive the mail as an unrecognized bounce).
Then you do lot include the list address in your reply either.

As to why your members are not addressing their posts properly, I don't
know. Perhaps the FAQ at <http://wiki.list.org/x/RoA9> may help.

OTOH, it is possible that your list members are moderated and you have
your list set to discard posts from moderated members and also to
forward auto discards to the admin so that posts from moderated members
get forwarded to you only.
