See <https://wiki.list.org/x/4030690> for some suggestions about working
with the offending sites.

If they are really rejecting the mail because of the literal '-bounces'
in the envelope sender, you can change that. In Mailman 2.1 the
'list-admin' address is a deprecateGetBouncesEmaild (from Mailman 2.0)
synonym for 'list-bounces and should be a working address. At around
line 196 in Mailman/MailList.py, you can change

    def GetBouncesEmail(self):
        return self.getListAddress('bounces')

to

    def GetBouncesEmail(self):
        return self.getListAddress('admin')

To get Mailman to send from 'list-admin'.
