I've dug somewhat deeper and it seems that Mailman itself expects this to 
happen with mail to that address (still 'mailman' below is the name of the 
site list):

    # The ultimate loop stopper address
    mailman-loop: /var/lib/mailman/data/owner-bounces.mbox

This is from the aliases file that Mailman generates in its native Postfix 
interface.

As I do not use postfix-to-mailman.py myself I'm open to suggestions on how to 
handle the -loop domain in its context.
