[Mailman-Users] Bounce email going to list server admin not list owner...

Didn't have luck researching this question. I (the list server admin)
recently received the following bounce notice:
> From Joe.Anybody at example.edu Wed Feb 24 15:55:18 2016
> Return-Path: <mailman-loop at lists.example.edu>
> From: "Anybody, Joe" <Joe.Anybody at example.edu>
> To: Xyz.Forum <mailman-bounces at lists.example.edu>
> Subject: Automatic reply: Added to the list
> Thread-Topic: Added to the list
> X-Auto-Response-Suppress: All
> X-MS-Exchange-Inbox-Rules-Loop: Joe.Anybody at example.edu
> auto-submitted: auto-generated
> x-ms-exchange-generated-message-source: Mailbox Rules Agent
> Errors-To: mailman-loop at lists.example.edu
> Sender: "Mailman" <mailman-loop at lists.example.edu>
> Subject: Automatic reply: Added to the list
>
> I am out of the office...
I don't understand why this bounce went to the server admin list...
mailman-bounces: "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman bounces mailman"
and not the bounce address for the specific list involved...
xyz.forum-bounces: |"/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman bounces xyz.forum"
It is apparent from the "To:" that the name of the list involved was
known. I did a dump of the "Xyz.Forum" list's config for what appear
to be the relevant parameters:
bounce_processing = True
bounce_score_threshold = 5.0
bounce_info_stale_after = 7
bounce_you_are_disabled_warnings = 3
bounce_you_are_disabled_warnings_interval = 7
bounce_unrecognized_goes_to_list_owner = True
bounce_notify_owner_on_bounce_increment = 1
bounce_notify_owner_on_disable = True
bounce_notify_owner_on_removal = True
And I searched the logs for entries specific to this list and/or this
particular subscriber:
subscribe:Jan 29 08:51:54 2016 (22963) xyz.forum: pending Joe Anybody <joe.anybody at example.edu> rl-cz364x1.ad.example.edu
subscribe:Jan 29 08:54:30 2016 (23022) xyz.forum: new Joe Anybody <joe.anybody at example.edu>, via admin approval
vette:Jan 29 08:53:18 2016 (3783) xyz.forum: held subscription request from joe.anybody at example.edu
There is nothing in the `bounce` itself log that appears to be related
to either.
I don't mind getting bounces where a specific list is unknown, but
list specific bounces really need to go to the list owner. We have
far too many lists to do otherwise.
