Why not just block it? Anyone who's using such a system deserves what they get. Oh, and report messagingengine.com as sending spam to someone like SpamCop while you're at it. Bearing in mind that it could be a virus with a forged from of main-admin@lists.alug.org.uk and I think you'll see where I'm coming from.
I want to work out who is using the system so that I can block it, thats the problem I can't tell which of the email addresses subscribed to the list is using the messagingengine.com service....
The only options I have come up with so far would be to write a script to test every email address individually with a unique id etc. to find which one is using messagingengine.com and then block that address.

I meant to block messagingengine.com so you don't get the bounces.
That is not a solution, and doesn't inform the recipient that they're losing e-mail because of this service. It stops crap appearing in the admins mailboxes, yes, but as it's list posts getting rejected, it'd be better to find out who has the service and thusly causing the bounces.
Thanks,
No. Anyone stupid enough to be using a system whereby bounces are sent to the from address (forgeable) deserves to lose mail. They don't deserve the effort to which Adam is intending to use to find out who they are. Bounces should ONLY ever be sent from one mail server to another at the SMTP level. Anything else generates spam through forged from addresses with people receiving bounces to e-mails they never sent.
