If you have site administration capability over your Mailman
installation and the incoming MTA, you can set the alias for the
listname-bounces address so it forwards to you directly.

If not, or if you still want automated processing, set the following
bounce processing options.

bounce_processing Yes
bounce_score_threshold 0.5
bounce_info_stale_after won't matter - default 7 is OK
bounce_you_are_disabled_warnings - default is OK
bounce_you_are_disabled_warnings_interval - default is OK
	
Notifications
bounce_unrecognized_goes_to_list_owner Yes
Sbounce_notify_owner_on_disable Yes
bounce_notify_owner_on_removal Yes

With settings like these, the first bounce will disable the
subscription and the owner will be notified and the notification will
contain a copy of the bounce message. The key is having the
notifications turned on and the bounce_score_threshold low enough that
the first bounce causes a disable.
