Over the past several weeks, I have received many reports from Mailman concerning too many bounces from certain subscribers who are normally very active on one of my forums.
All of these "Bounce Action Notification"'s appear to be coming from only a very few ISPs, the big one being AOL, although also verizon.com is another one. In the past, gmail.com, and hotmail.com have been a culprits.
Is there any way to prevent these people from being essentially kicked off the forum until AOL, among others, gets its act together?

it depends on the reason that you're getting the bounces. i get them all the time. sometimes they're just bogus anomalous nonsense {e, g a clearly non-spam message rejected for "too much spam content} i just ignore those - those people must know about the idiosyncrasies of their ISP and by staying with them accept their foibles. ... BUT.. if the bounce is because your host has been blacklisted or is otherwise banned, you need to contact your isp pronto and get them started on getting themselves re-approved.

The best you can do is look at the bounces and see what the cause is. If it is the message being detected as spam, you may be able to contact the ISP and get them to adjust their filters and at least partially white list you.
There might be some other issue happening that the notice might help you with.

Other replies have given good advice, but one thing not mentioned is DMARC. If the bounces are of mail that doesn't pass DMARC. See <https://wiki.list.org/DEV/DMARC> if this is the issue.
You need to look at the bounce notices and determine the reason for the bounces.

I believe AOL and Verizon are under Yahoo now. All of them have DMARC records that will cause bounces if you don't have your DMARC settings set correctly. What do you have the "Action to take when anyone posts to the list from a domain with a DMARC Reject/Quarantine Policy." setting set to on the Privacy options --> Sender filters page?
