So, some person who is not subscribed to the list sends an email to it. The

It's more likely that somebody has put a block on receiving mail from
the list - possibly at a server level - but they haven't bothered to
unsubscribe first. Therefore the list will automatically send mail to
that address but it is getting bounced back in the from that we see.
It could also be a server problem and not the original subscriber's
fault. I think we need to be careful about laying blame before
knowing the full facts.
