The Mailman bounce log is human readable and will tell you what
addresses are bouncing/have bounced on what list(s). The specific
bounce message and reason is not saved so you don't see this until you
receive the notice when they reach the limit.

The bounce log is usually logs/bounce in your mailman installation
directory but the directory containing the logs can be changed by
assignment to LOG_DIR in mm_cfg.py.
