So bounce processing is working as it should, and the issue is why are
all these bounces being returned for your address?

So the list owner should be getting a notice when the subscription is
disabled. This notice should have the triggering bounce attached to
it. This may help you figure out what is being bounced and why.


Here's one thought. If your deliveries are VERP'd (so that messages to
you have an envelope from something like
listname-bounces+dave=dpss.bz at example.com, and if you have a misguided
MUA that includes the 'envelope from' in a reply to the list, every
time you reply to a list post, you will register a bounce because any
message at all sent to listname-bounces+user=users.domain at list.domain
will register a bounce on listname for user at users.domain.
