The bounce messages are sent to you because you sent the original.

Indeed it is rude, and the person subscribed to the mailing list whose
software is sending these bounce messages is the one responsible for
making it stop. The mailing list software can't help (nor can the
news-to-mail gateway).

In the meantime, the usual fix is for the list administrator to
unsubscribe the offending party (the one sending automated bounce
messages).
