[Mailman-Users] Strange bounce messages - why is it allowed through and how do I find out?

I'm running a list of about 500 people, and have encountered a strange
problem lately, namely that bounce messages from an address
"dummy at not.exist" are being sent to the list. The subject is like this:
Autoreply: {digest-subject}
and body like this:
"This email adress do not exist"
so it appears to be bouncing the digest. The address does not exist,
and obviously is not a subscribed to the list. And the posting policy
is subscribers only. A lot of messages are being held for moderation
because the posters are not members (spam). Still this one comes
through.
In the mailman/logs/post log file it just says that dummy at not.exist
posted to the list at this or that time.
I'm both bewildered and estranged - what is this? And how do I find out
why it is allowed to post to the list?
