It seems they are not bogus, but still the problem is not on my side.
Here's an analysis:

This shows that my mail has successfully reached murphy and has been
processed and delivered to the subscribers.  One of them seems to be
[EMAIL PROTECTED] (second Received read from bottom up).  The
server who received the mail (nj1.fxsonet.com) hands it on to
server3.intranet.jam-software.com which is known outside as
u2-111.dsl.vianetworks.de.  Somehow on this server the recipient is
rewritten to be [email protected] (again), and
probably also the header encoding is corrupted.  Therefore when the mail
again reaches murphy, it isn't rejected because of the loop, but because
of the buggy header.

So either somebody should contact the postmaster of this
jam-software.com, or vianetworks.de who seems to be the provider, or
[EMAIL PROTECTED] should be removed from the list.

This problem is really annoying on a german mailing list, not only do
people get these error messages, but most of them send a duplicate of
their mail, so that we get loads of dupes delivered to the list.

Regards, Frank

P.S. that somebody mentioned above is not me.
