	At a list admin level?  No.

	Site administrators could install log processing software and 
have a summary sent to them on a daily basis.  But there is nothing 
you can do at the list admin level.  See also

	Doesn't exist.  Sorry!

	That address is used to send stuff, so that if/when those 
messages result in bounces, those bounces will be sent back to the 
appropriate address to process the bounces.

	The address used doesn't tell you anything whatsoever about the 
nature of the messages you're being sent.  It's not like all bounces 
are sent from the -bounces address, all warnings are sent from the 
-warnings address, or anything like that.
