Nor can I really, from the information provided, but here are some
hints.

You are receiving 'unrecognized bounces' because the 'sender' of
messages from a mailman list is the [EMAIL PROTECTED] address and
the complainer's mail client or the complainer directly is replying to
this address. These are not actual bounces.

Use the bin/find_member tool to verify that an address is not on any
list. E.g., in this case

bin/find_member lyndal

will find all members of any lists that have 'lyndal' in the address.

Also, set

VERP_DELIVERY_INTERVAL = 1

in mm_cfg.py so that messages to the user are sent by
'[EMAIL PROTECTED] which will help the recipient
(and you) identify the actual subscribed address.
