OK, so for this list the email address would be locked to sender:
mimedefang-bounces at lists.roaringpenguin.com
But for the SpamAssassin list (for example), the senders are all different:
All the below are @spamassassin.apache.org:
users-return-33376-Matthew.van.Eerde=hbinc.com
users-return-33377-Matthew.van.Eerde=hbinc.com
users-return-33378-Matthew.van.Eerde=hbinc.com
...
So the best I could do is lock to @spamassassin.apache.org
