Well...  Yes, it's a misconfigured mail server of an owl-users
subscriber.  Apparently, their antivirus treats all unrecognized file
types as viruses and the bounce messages have the mailing list's
address as From: and envelope-from.

I've identified the subscriber, but am not sure what to do now.
Just unsubscribe them?

This does not result in a bounce for those who don't post attachments.
