It might be /usr/local/mailman (the default), or it could be elsewhere.
On some Debian systems it is /var/lib/mailman.

See http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq06.011.htp

Try sending a test e-mail to <yourlistname>-bounces at mail.domain.com.
This should result in an entry in the bounce log and in Mailman's
sending the message to the list owner as an unrecognized bounce. If
instead, the message is returned to you by the incoming MTA, The MTA
is not set up properly. This would have to be addressed through your
web host or CPanel, neither of which I can help with.
