I believe that the debian list server sets the envelope sender for email from the list to bounce-debian-user-<email address>@list.debian.org (or something). If a properly configured MTA has to bounce a message, the list server will know what address is giving it grief, and if it happens enough times, which to remove. At least, that's my (admittedly limited) understanding. I have seen at least one bounce from a badly configured MTA which sent the mail back to me (the From: address), but did not include it's own from address. Mutt, for some reason, seemed to put the bounce-debian-user address in the From: field when it displayed the mail. Maybe this is what you are seeing.
