It's can be tough to find the address they're originally sent to, 
especially if there's more than one address in that domain subscribed or 
(worse yet) if it's an alias in a different domain.  The error message is 
generated via an alias (quit@...) and everything identifying the original 
address is missing from the message or headers.

Some lists handle this with periodic probes, sending a unique message to 
every address on the list that can identify the original address, and 
looking at the bounces.  It's can be a bit of work to create these if the 
list software doesn't support it, however.
