Not exactly the same problem, though I absolutely agree with you.

The problem I'm reporting is closely related: you will note that the
username part contains an extra -postgresql.org so it's not exactly the
list's "from" address. In my opinion what should have happened was that
this message, instead of attempting delivery to the list, should have
been dropped on the floor with a reject message of "no such user here"
or some such.
