A simple change would be to edit the alias for the bounce address to 
deliver the mail to both
A) a separate mailbox where you can look at them at your leisure
and B) to mailman for processing.

That too.  :-)

The bounces themselves only exist on the server long enough to be 
processed by the BounceRunner.  After that, they are thrown away.  If 
you want to see the individual bounces themselves, you're going to 
have to make some configuration changes to Mailman or how you 
integrate Mailman into your MTA.

For details on how to make those kinds of configuration changes, 
I would encourage you to spend some time searching the archives.

[Mailman-Users] Where are the bounces?

[Michael Schaarwaechter]

Hi,

great, mailman handles the most bounces going back to listname-bounces
itself. But now we have a problem in our Mailserver and would like to
take a look at these bounces. Is that possible? I didn't find any place
where I can see the mails themself.

TIA,
Michael
