	Addresses of the form "bounces-" are not at all what Mailman 
would create.  If you are truly getting this, then it sounds like 
someone made some extensive modifications to your system, and we 
can't help you with those.

	Mailman will send out messages with an envelope sender of 
"listname-bounces" (see what happens when you get your copy of this 
message from the mailman-users list), and some clients will 
inappropriately display this envelope sender address (see 
<http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq02.003.htp>).


	It sounds to me like you need to provide more explicit details of 
precisely what is actually going on, with complete copies of headers 
from sample messages that you've created.
