The mailman mailing list software will automatically disable addresses from 
which more than a certain number of messages have bounced.  This normally 
happens (although there are other causes) if a particular mailbox has 
exceeded its quota or if an account has been disabled without the address 
first being unsubscribed from the list.  If a particular address is 
bouncing messages then there is no way for the mailman software to notify 
the subscriber that that address is being disabled.
