#         and subscribes it to the bounces list.

# I looked at the bin/bounces perl script.  It appears that the bounces
# script will work remotely for an owner ONLY IF he is on a system which

Yes.

# Doesn't Majordomo (e.g. resend) automatically move subscribers
# addresses from a regular list to the bounces list when mail to the
# subscriber's address starts to bounce?

No.

# Or, does the list owner need to do send "subscribe bounces <user>" and
# "unsubscribe <list> <user>" commands to majordomo explicitly (I'm
# assuming he doesn't have direct access to Perl)?

Yes.
