I've done this integration for a few folks, and for similar reasons to what you describe, I use an external script to move mailing list mail out to the News server. It's a bit of a pain, but it lets you filter out these kinds of things.
Alternately, you can pull the Newslist mail into your mailman list using an external app, and modify the From to a generic user so that any bounces get dumped. You could do this by hacking the code to Mailman as well. I've tried adding headers to mail pulled from the Newslists (Mailman does this for you already), but if the users MUA is silly enough to bounce the message from a mailing list, then it's silly enough to *not* include those headers as well....
