It's not defunct; your message reached it. There just happens to be one
bad address on the list that causes a bounce message to be returned when
the list server forwards to that person.

That is not an error message from zsh. There is no circumstance in which
zsh prints "syntax error" and "unexpected" -- zsh prints "parse error".
So what appears to be happening is that the interactive tool is running
/bin/sh or ksh, and something -- perhaps your .profile file, or the ENV
environment variable? Is causing that other shell to read your .zshrc.
