No.  Pretty much all mailing list software rewrites the envelope sender
so that bounces don't go to individual subscribers.  This has always
been the case for Debian lists.  The problem with netvigator is that
their software is generating bounces to the From: line in the message
(which is not rerwitten) rather than the envelope sender.
