in 2.1

In the plans for a good solution - until then, there's a user contributed 
solution that you
can run as a filter before handing the message off.

>firewall, etc protection.

Umm, that has nothing to do with mailing lists.

>a good program like Norton Internet Security to protect the list

Again, what does a firewall have to do with mailing lists. Are you looking
for a *virus scanner*?  Way beyond the scope of an MLM - that's more a system
level issue.

>notice to moderators of new members, new messages of moderated members

I don't remember if the messages specificaly go to moderators too, but 
notice of
member operations has gone to the admin since probably day 1.  Moderated 
messages
certainly do.

>member moderation

Yup, in 2.1.

>member banning

2.1

>list of banned members stored with a reason given for each

The list is stored.  No explicit reason field is there, but most of those
fields allow for comments in the box, you could try that (I.e. # Something)

>list of bounced and the bounces

Not from the web interface.  The bounce log keeps track of who bounced,
and the score will tell if you it was hard or soft, if mailman is set to 
process
bounces.  If you want to see all the bounces, turn that off.

>ability to toll the bounced to see if the address is live or not

In 2.1 after it turns someone off, it sends periodic (configurable) reminders
to the person telling them they're disabled, with a url they can click to 
renable
themselves quickly.  After another (configurable) while, it'll give up on 
them and
delete them.
