If Mailman could recognize the DSN as such and extract the address from
it, it wouldn't be "uncaught"; it would be handled be bounce
processing.

If you collect the legitimate bounces that are unrecognized and send
them to me off list, I can try to update the recognizers to recognize
them. However, please don't do this unless you are running a recent
Mailman, at least 2.1.9 or preferably 2.1.11, since otherwise you will
probably be sending me ones that are already recognized in later
Mailman. Also, don't send me non-English language DSNs unless they
have an RFC3464 compliant message/delivery-status part.

Also note, that if you enable VERP in Mailman (or in your MTA),
legitimate bounces will never be unrecognized. Set

VERP_CONFIRMATIONS = Yes
VERP_PASSWORD_REMINDERS = Yes
VERP_PERSONALIZED_DELIVERIES = Yes
VERP_DELIVERY_INTERVAL = 1

in mm_cfg.py to enable it in Mailman.

Finally, it would help greatly if you would install some effective spam
filtering ahead of Mailman.
