	The best thing would be to get Netwin to fix their software so 
that it sends back RFC-compliant Delivery Status Notifications -- 
Mailman already knows how to deal with those.  Indeed, most 
mail-related programs on the Internet already know how to deal with 
those, so by fixing this problem they'd make themselves much more 
compatible with the entire rest of the world.

	Otherwise, you need to take the bounce message format and write 
some Python code to properly parse that, and then submit that code to 
the Mailman developers.
