You can turn off bounce_unrecognized_goes_to_list_owner. Then you have
the problem that a list member may be bouncing with an unrecognized
DSN, and you won't know it, but in my experience, this is rare. YMMV


It is better to block these with SpamAssassin in the MTA before they
ever get to Mailman, but you could create your own process which would
filter the mail and then pipe it to Mailman's mail wrapper with the
appropriate arguments, and arrange for the MTA to pipe the -bounces
mail to your process instead of directly to the mail wrapper.
