In a prior post, you indicated mail was bouncing and incrementing
member's bounce scores.

If Heather's suggestion doesn't solve the problem, do the following.

Be sure you have bounce_notify_owner_on_disable set to yes. Also
consider setting bounce_score_threshold to a fairly low value (e.g. 2)
so the bouncing members will be disabled soon. Then, as members are
disabled, notifications with the actual bounce notice attached will be
sent to the list owner. This should enable you to figure out why the
addresses are not deliverable.
