I notice that this list does not show me the real address in those
headers, but rather something like:

Sender: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

So I would guess that the list admin for this listserver rarely sees
users mistaking the Sender: header for the correct address.

We get a few people who send to mailman-users-owner thinking that they're posting to the whole list, but I disabuse them of that notion.

Over the several years I've been acting as one of the co-owners of this list, I don't recall getting any messages being sent by users to mailman-users-bounces.

I am getting pretty tired of this. How can I fix it?

You can set up an auto-responder. For the web admin page for your mailing list, go to the "Auto-responder" section. From there, you can set the auto-responder message for all posts that are sent to the list, and there's a separate auto-responder message that you can create for all messages sent to listname-owner, which should also include all messages sent to listname-bounces.

Make sure you check the settings of the various related radio-buttons for these automatic responses, and change them to be more appropriate for your situation if they are not correct.
