The "undeliverable message" is from some pin head twit using mail software that
shouldn't be allowed anywhere near a real network.  The vast majority of the
errors [I get about 700 to 1,000 errors messages per day from all the lists]
are returned to the proper address, not the originator of the mail.  But there
are some sites still using mailer programs that were written by cretins who
have no clue about RFC standards and responsible net behavior.

So basically, when you get a bounce from someone when you send mail to the
triumphs@autox.team.net address, you can either ignore it, or forward a copy
to triumphs-owner@autox.team.net and at some point in the future I'll get
around to removing the errant list entry.
