Your graphic (and HTML) were removed by this list's content filtering,
but your settings

bounce_processing: Yes
bounce_score_threshold: 1.0
bounce_info_stale_after: 7
bounce_you_are_disabled_warnings: 3
bounce_you_are_disabled_warnings_interval: 7
bounce_unrecognized_goes_to_list_owner: Yes
bounce_notify_owner_on_disable: Yes
bounce_notify_owner_on_removal: Yes

are fine. The user's delivery should be disabled on the first bounce
and she will be sent three warnings at 7 day intervals and then
removed.

What do you see in Mailman's 'bounce' and 'smtp-failure' logs? What do
you see in the MTA's logs?

What Mailman version is this? If it is 2.1.5 or if VERP_PROBES = Yes in
mm_cfg.py or if other VERP settings are enabled in mm_cfg.py, can your
MTA properly handle the VERPed addresses?

Do you have appropriate aliases for the LIST-bounces at ... addresses?
