 I'm sorry to disturb you with my questions but I'm very confused - how the 
 mailing list gets back the errors and in what cases.


Mailman gets bounces in two ways.

1) If Mailman gets an SMTP recipient refused response to a recipient
during its SMTP transaction, this is logged in Mailman's 'smtp-failure'
log and a bounce recorded if the list is processing bounces.

2) For the kinds of things you are seeing in your MTA log, Mailman has
sent the message with envelope from LISTNAME-bounces@list.domain, or if
VERPed, from LISTNAME-bounces+recipient_user=users.domain@list.domain.

The MTA will send a DSN to that address and assuming it is deliverable,
Mailman will receive it and record a bounce if the list is processing
bounces.

In either case, a recorded bounce is logged in Mailman's bounce log and
scored. The DSN itself is discarded after processing unless it results
in a disable and bounce_notify_owner_on_disable is Yes in which case it
is attached to the notice to the admin.

Look at Mailman's 'bounce' log. If bounces are not being recorded,
ensure that the list's Bounce processing - bounce_processing setting is
Yes and that the LISTNAME-bounces address is deliverable (you should see
the delivery of the DSN to Mailman in your MTA logs.

Note that for messages which are 'Deferred', they have to time out in
the MTA before Mailman receives an undeliverable notice. This typically
takes up to 5 days depending on the MTA configuration.

Greylisting is also a temporary failure in the MTA and normally the
message will be retried and accepted upon retry. This is not a bounce.

See the list's web admin Bounce processing page. Also see Mailman's 'bounce' 
log.

Bounces are returned to Mailman. If the list's bounce_processing setting is No, 
they are ignored. If Yes, they are handled according to the remaining settings. 
List owners are not notified until a members bounce score reaches 
bounce_score_threshold and the member's delivery is disabled, and then only if 
bounce_notify_owner_on_disable is Yes

Beginning in 2.1.19, a list admin can request notification any time a member's 
score is incremented.

These admin notices contain a copy of the triggering bounce.
