See the FAQ at <http://wiki.list.org/x/84A9>

The footers are not (usually) separate MIME parts on this list because
people tend to post plain text, and this list uses Mailman's content
filtering to remove non plain text parts from posts so the footers can
be added to the simple plain text message body.

When you "load a new list of email addresses", invite the list rather
than subscribing it. Problem solved.

There already is an address to which all bounces are sent. It is
LISTNAME-bounces at ... If you have control over the MTA that delivers
this mail, you can deliver it anywhere you want. You can also set the
bounce processing threshold score to 1 to disable delivery and notify
the admin upon the first bounce.
