Mailman accepts the password, and I can make changes to records, but if I attempt, for instance, to view a user record and choose the 'List my other subscriptions' button, I get the "The list administrator may not view the other subscriptions for this user." error.

If you just upgraded Mailman, this was changed in 2.1.7.

If that is not the explaination, it is probably that you don't have

ALLOW_SITE_ADMIN_COOKIES = Yes

in mm_cfg.py. Be sure and read the documentation in Defaults.py before
changing this.

Also, if you have upgraded, see the FAQ at
<http://wiki.list.org/x/aICB>.

And finally, the bounced reminder should list all the user's
subscriptions.
