Bug Description
I cannot list shadow members that exist on the DB file, and for
this reason I don't know how to remove them
I got this from the bounce log

<email address hidden> not a member.
I looked for <email address hidden> using find_member and
list_members and I could not find it. I ran the list DB file through
the unix strings command, and I could see the addresses. I tried
looking for it using Mailman.MailList class using both
GetDelivery[
and again I could not find them.
Please tell me how I can remove them!

Bounces don't always come back with the subscriber's management web page to find an address that's
subscribed address. You can use the regular-expression
search in the
membership-
likely to be them, or you can use MM 2.1 to implement
VERP-style addressing, which can help find them.
My bounces are a lot more reliable now that I've hacked MM
to request VERP addressing from postfix; mis-labeled bounces
are unfortunately a fact of life in today's complex and
badly-administered email world.
