In such a case the sender would get a lot of bounces.  The simplistic
filtering system that my system uses to prevent such bounces 
would be become much more prevalent if my system became so popular that 
a significant number of list members were using my system.

The list operator should also then drop these deactivated bounce-generating
email addresses from the list as well.

If you send mail to asrg at ieft.org then you won't get bounces from other
people if you have the filter.

Are we no longer talking about a mailing list here?  Are you asking how
would the sender receive a legitimate bounce if the email were sent without
a sub-address?  I think I know some work arounds but as my knowledge of
the intricacies of email is limited I'll defer this to more experienced members
of the list.
