Please send me a complete, raw copy of one such bounce as received by
the list owner.

Note that I'm guessing based on recent off-list correspondence that
possibly your Yahoo smarthost is now rewriting the envelope sender to
your address from listname-bounces at ..., but this is only a guess.

Are you trying to remove them manually or just waiting for bounce
processing to do it. If the bounces go to you and not Mailman, Mailman
will never record then or do anything about it.

It's not related, but

Did you download <http://www.msapiro.net/scripts/get_bounce_info.py> (or
<http://fog.ccsf.cc.ca.us/~msapiro/scripts/get_bounce_info.py>) and save
it as /usr/lib/mailman/bin/get_bounce_info.py?

What does the above mean?

It's not a Mailman module. It's one of my utility scripts. If you
actually downloaded it and saved it in the appropriate place, I don't
know why it's gone now. If you downloaded it some time ago, perhaps it
was saved in a different location.

No, this has nothing to do with bounces not being processed to remove
bouncing addresses. That is apparently because bounces are being
returned to you and mot to Mailman.
