You send them to me, but I need the full raw message, not just the
body, because various things in the headers are used to determine
which heuristics to apply to the message.

Whether or not the address is a list member has nothing to do with
recognition. If the bounce is sent to you as unrecognized, Mailman
doesn't know what address bounced. Mailman is saying it couldn't
determine the address. If Mailman had determined the address, and it
wasn't a list member, it would have just ignored the bounce

This has a Qmail flavor to it, but it doesn't comply with
