You have three choices:

Assuming bounce_notify_owner_on_disable is set to yes for the list, you
can

1) wait until the user's score reaches threshold (which it may never do
depending on post frequency and bounce_info_stale_after) or

2) reset all bouncing users (see
<http://www.msapiro.net/scripts/reset_bounce.py>) and set threshold to
1 so the first subsequent bounce results in a disable.

The disable will send you a notice with the bounce message attached so
you can see why the users are bouncing. You may be able to get this
info from your MTA logs without doing the above if the bounces are
rejects of your attempted deliveries at your outgoing SMTP time.

or 3) temporarily change the notices-bounces alias to deliver to a
person so you can see the bounce messages.
	
Once you know why the recipient's server is bouncing the mail, you'll
have a better idea how to proceed.
