Mailman is very good at this IF it is properly configured. There are
list settings under control of the list admin. The defaults are
reasonable for lists that moderate to high traffic volumes but probably
need to be tuned for low volume lists.

Also, the site can enable VERP like envelope senders for better bounce
recognition, although the standard and heuristic recognizers are pretty
good.
