So looking thru this message I figure out that mailman has no any tool 
to be more ``friendly with verbose''.
This i mean, ``exim'' has such a tool like `exigrep' helping me surfing 
thru logs by ID and parsing out all info about delivery (or error) on 
that ID.
I mean I do `exigrep 'foo.diman' /var/log/exim_mainlog` and it greps 
'foo.domain' (or other PATTERN) parses out Message-ID and greps 
everything that has this Message-ID from same log file...
