It's a matter of taste: some sites want the error to go to the
sender at the risk of disclosing the list membership to senders.
Other sites want the error to go to the error return address.
iMS does the latter.  Since, by default, the envelope From:
address is the list, that's where the error goes.  To control
this, specify an different error return address for the list:

bioveg-all: </path/bioveg-grp.dis, [BLOCKLIMIT] 300, \
    bioveg-errors
bioveg-errors: some-address-to-send-errors-to
