Here's what I suggest. First be sure that bounce_processing and
bounce_unrecognized_goes_to_list_owner are both set to Yes. Then you
will receive any unrecognized bounce notices that might come from
these members and recognized bounce notices will be logged in
Mailman's bounce log - you may need your providers assistance to see
that or to determine if bounces are being recorded for the affected
members.

You can also go to a members 'options' page by following the link (the
member's email) from the admin Membership list, and if the member has
a current bounce score, it will be noted near the top of the page.

Whether or not Mailman is actually seeing bounces for these members,
this is almost certainly not Mailman's problem. You might be able to
learn more from the outgoing MTA's logs, but I think the most likely
cause is some kind of filtering going on either in the recipient's
mail clients (MUAs) or their ISPs.
