If you mean extract a list of members, your search should have led you
to
<http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq03.062.htp>
which should answer this question. If you need more help than that,
please ask a more specific question.

If you set Bounce processing->bounce_notify_owner_on_disable to Yes,
the list owner will receive a notice with a copy of the bounce that
triggers a disable. This should help you determine why posts are
bouncing.

Do these almost 120 people have delivery enabled?

Do bounces for these members appear in Mailman's bounce log? Is there
anything in Mailman's smtp-failure log?

Set Bounce processing->bounce_unrecognized_goes_to_list_owner to Yes so
you see bounces that aren't recognized as such.

If a member has delivery enabled and the members delivery doesn't
bounce, It is probably being spam filtered somewhere outside of
Mailman.
