Does the owner receive other notifications that might be enabled. I.e.
notifications of subscribe/unsubscribe, held messages, etc.?

Owners do not receive notifications of recognized individual bounces.
Owners are only notified (if requested) when a bounce is unrecognized
or a member is disabled due to bounce or ultimately unsubscribed due
to bounce.

Check Mailman's 'bounce' log to see if the bounces are being recorded.
If so, and if this has been going on for some time without the member
being disabled, consider adjusting the numeric settings to prevent
bounce info from going stale on this list.

It is also possible that VERP probes are enabled and there is an issue
with delivery to VERP-like addresses in your system. In this case, you
will see entries like "sending <listname> list probe to: <address>
(score 5.0 >= 5.0)" in the bounce log, followed by a reset of the
bounce score, but no disable. If this is the case, see the thread
"VERP active where it shouldn't" starting at
<http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2006-June/051402.html>
for additional information.
