In Mailman as distributed by the Mailman project, 4) and 5) above are
not possible. The only auto discards which are forwarded to the list
owner as a result of forward_auto_discards being set to Yes are those
discards which result from a match with discard_these_nonmembers or
generic_nonmember_action of Discard.

Other Discards can result from member_moderation_action,
header_filter_rules. KNOWN_SPAMMERS (in mm_cfg.py), or 'scrubbing' of
an HTML message if ARCHIVE_HTML_SANITIZER = 0, but none of these
forward to the list owner.
