I also forgot to mention something.. I'm managing 57 lists on 18 servers..
some are small lists and some are huge but the thing in common is that they
all send a single message to their lists per day.. but I have put my own
email address (khillo100 at hotmail dot com) in all of the 57 lists.. and
everyday I receive between 30 and 40 emails from the lists but never 57!
another thing in common is that all 18 servers never send directly, they go
thru the same relay server ..
I tried to something, I removed my address from all lists and re-subscribed
and I received 57 welcome messages.. but when sending to the lists, only 30
to 40 are received..
any thoughts?

When you see some actual disabling bounce notifications, you will
hopefully be able to answer that for yourself. Until then, I don't
know what causes it.
I also looked more closely at the smtp log you sent earlier. There are a
huge number of mailman generated notices that originate from
BounceRunner. All lists appear affected. I think these are unrecognized
bounce notifications. I have suggested before that there may be a large
amount of spam being sent to the LIST-bounces addresses, but there may
also be a mail loop of some kind. I suggest that you make sure that each
list's (including the 'mailman' list) owner attribute contains only
deliverable addresses and that none of the LIST-* addresses are among
them. Similarly, if there are any moderator addresses, they must be
deliverable and must not include any LIST-* addresses and shouldn't
duplicate any owner addresses for the same list.
Also try sending an email to the LIST-owner addresses to verify such
mail is received.
