Retrieve extra copy of Mailman bounces- report message?
For one of my lists, I have a recurring problem of subscribers trying to post to the list by sending e-mail to the address listname-bounces@ .
I solve that problem by manually sending the sender a standard message with info about the correct address, what they did wrong, and a copy of their posting so that they can send it to the correct address for the list.
I get the sender's address and a copy of their attempted post from Mailman itself, since it reports such incidents to me.
My question is: If I accidentally delete that report message from Mailman, is there a way I can retrieve or send myself a copy of it?

You can have multiple owners or moderators for the list. Why not just add a mailbox-of-record that you don't actually read except in the rare case you deleted a report you wanted to respond to or quote from? Maybe make a note to delete old mail once a month or so.

The message is not saved anywhere by Mailman, so Steve's suggestion is probably all you can do.
