Is there some reason you have for not using formail's -r flag to figure

No, it won't in this case. What happened is that I used to run a list
that we can call bongo(_at_)old(_dot_)server(_dot_)com(_dot_) Now it's at
new.server.com.
I am at concorde.com.
I set an alias at old.server.com as follows:
bongo: bongo(_at_)new(_dot_)server(_dot_)com,kevink(_at_)concorde(_dot_)com
So when the mail goes to the new list address and I get a copy.
There's nothing in the headers about a list owner or anything
else like that. The list doesn't exist any more at the old
address. The only place I can get an address from is the
"From:" line.
The problem isn't that my recipe doesn't work - it works.
It sends the warning back to the sender. But it also
creates a dead.letter file in my home directory, which is
irritating but not life-threatening.
Maybe I'll just have to live with it.
