If you are referring to messages in Mailman's bounces queue, if these are not processed and removed within 15 minutes of arrival, Mailman's bounce runner is not running.
Well, it is the queue.Our var directory is under /opt/mailman/var and the /opt/mailman/var/queue/bounces is over 8GB big. There are *.pck messages and some of them are very old (>3 Years). The bounce seems to be running:

I don't understand what's happening. If the bounces runner is processing it's queue, those .pck files should be processed and deleted.
Are there errors in /opt/mailman/var/logs/mailman?
If you examine (some of) those files with mailman qfile do you see
anything strange?
Is there an ownership/permissions issue? Sometimes people run Mailman or
some Mailman command as root and things get owned by root and then
when Mailman is later run as mailman it can't delete or maybe even
read them.
If you are referring to bounce messages in the message store (var/messages/), there have been issues with those not being removed, but Mailman core >= 3.3.5 should clean those up.
SInce the messages are hashed or otherwise stored, i can't verify or deny this.
Is the size of the /opt/mailman/var/messages directory very big?
