Mailing list software fiddles with things because it is desirable to
send DSNs to the list owners instead of to the writer of the message.
The message comes into the list host with the writer of the message
as MAIL FROM.  The bounce goes out of the list host as MAIL FROM:<> and
RCPT TO the several list owners.

David makes a good point though about smaller systems.  You might
happen to know that no two people on your system are co-list-owners.
That kind of knowledge lets you rule out some otherwise possible cases.

Merry Christmas Eve!  I wonder what attacks we will see this night.
