You can't. Mailman is already doing everything it can short of munging
the From: address of posts to ensure that DSNs are returned to
Mailman. In addition to setting the envelope sender of posts to the
listname-bounces address, Mailman also puts the listname-bounces
address in Sender: and Errors-To: headers in the post.

If in spite of all this and in violation of all standards, some remote
MTA insists on returning a DSN to the From: address, there are really
only two things you can do.

You can contact the admins of the MTA that sends the DSN and complain.
This is probably futile.

You or another list admin can post fairly frequently to the list, and
when you receive a DSN addressed to you, immediately remove the
offending recipient from the list.
