I have a number of list managers with subscribers who are confused as to why their messages are silently disappearing. I've read the archives on how to decipher why a message was shunted, but this is not workable at scale. Is sending an error email back to the sender a consideration?
Why are messages being shunted? Each shunted message has thrown some kind of uncaught exception which is logged with a traceback in Mailman's mailman.log.
These should be due to bugs that should get fixed or possibly malformed messages which are almost always spam.
In short, under normal circumstances messages should not be shunted at all and when they are it is something the site admins need to address. It is normally not something the sender of the message can do anything about.
