            in Mailman.  Here's an overview of how it works.

            <p>When a bounce is received, Mailman tries to extract two pieces
            of information from the message: the address of the member the
            message was intended for, and the severity of the problem causing
            the bounce.  The severity can be either <em>hard</em> or
            <em>soft</em> meaning either a fatal error occurred, or a
            transient error occurred.  When in doubt, a hard severity is used.

            <p>If no member address can be extracted from the bounce, then the
            bounce is usually discarded.  Otherwise, each member is assigned a
            <em>bounce score</em> and every time we encounter a bounce from
            this member we increment the score.  Hard bounces increment by 1
            while soft bounces increment by 0.5.  We only increment the bounce
            score once per day, so even if we receive ten hard bounces from a
            member per day, their score will increase by only 1 for that day.

            <p>When a member's bounce score is greater than the
            <a href="?VARHELP=bounce/bounce_score_threshold">bounce score
            threshold</a>, the subscription is disabled.  Once disabled, the
            member will not receive any postings from the list until their
            membership is explicitly re-enabled (either by the list
            administrator or the user).  However, they will receive occasional
            reminders that their membership has been disabled, and these
            reminders will include information about how to re-enable their
            membership.

            <p>You can control both the
            <a href="?VARHELP=bounce/bounce_you_are_disabled_warnings">number
            of reminders</a> the member will receive and the
            <a href="?VARHELP=bounce/bounce_you_are_disabled_warnings_interval"
            >frequency</a> with which these reminders are sent.

            <p>There is one other important configuration variable; after a
            certain period of time -- during which no bounces from the member
            are received -- the bounce information is
            <a href="?VARHELP=bounce/bounce_info_stale_after">considered
            stale</a> and discarded.  Thus by adjusting this value, and the
            score threshold, you can control how quickly bouncing members are
            disabled.  You should tune both of these to the frequency and
            traffic volume of your list."""),

             If this really is a permanent bounce from one of your members,
             you should probably manually remove them from your list, and 2)
             you might want to send the message on to the Mailman developers
