You don't have the access required to do any of the things mentioned in
that post other than option 1.

If you were able to do it, option 2 sends the bounce notices to the
list owner and thus, Mailman is unable to process bounces because
Mailman doesn't receive them. It then becomes incumbent on the list
owner to react to the bounces appropriately.


>3. I also received the same advice from the help desk at my host/provider, re: changing the bounce score threshhold, that way I am definitely made aware when something happens, and for the sake of simplicity, that may be the way that I go.


See 1. above.
