Could you give us some more details as to precisely what your
problem is, so that we have some idea of what you want fixed?

One of my users informed me that she got this message in which a couple hundred address from the list were disclosed. I want to know if there is a way to stop this. I don't want everyone who gets a probe message to see everyone's email address. I have noted where the address are listed but left the actual addresses off.

It appears that Mailman is appending the bounce message to the probe and in this case there were "a couple hundred" subscribers in the washington.hostforweb.net domain that bounced.
In any case, this seems to be sufficient reason to not append the original bounce mesage to the probe.
I'm far from fluent in Python, but it looks like either
self.sendProbe(member, msg) in the routine def registerBounce(self, member, msg, weight=1.0, day=None): in Bouncer.py
or outer.attach(MIMEMessage(msg)) in def sendProbe(self, member, msg): in Deliverer.py
are places where this can be addressed.
