	You can go throughout the Mailman code and change 
listname-bounces to whatever you want, but this is not recommended.

	Bounces will actually come back to this address, so whatever you 
do, you have to be able to distinguish between bounces and original 
submissions.  But if you had a violent opposition to the string 
"-bounces" appearing anywhere, you could change this to be "-fred" or 
whatever else you may want.

	That would be an extremely bad idea.  You would be destroying 
vital information encoded in the envelope sender address, which could 
not be recovered once a bounce occurred.
