This appears to be automated mailman behavior.  There are some subscribers to the list that change their email addresses frequently, so I do not keep a very close eye on churn due to bounces, resubscriptions, unsubscriptions, etc.

I can always take a closer look at mail logs, if you are wondering about specific message legitimacy, or why something bounced, or whatever...
