I thought I added a check for CC mail bounces in 1.93. You might want
to check the 1.93 code and see if one of the added filters will catch
it.

Check out:
# message_headers [string_array] (undef) <resend,digest>
# These headers will be appended to the headers of the posted message.
# The text is expanded before being used. The following expansion
# tokens are defined: $LIST - the name of the current list, $SENDER -
# the sender as taken from the from line, $VERSION, the version of
# majordomo.
message_headers << END
END
Also errors-to isn't respected by CC mail, and is depricated on the
internet as well.
>> Subject: cc:Mail UUCPLINK 2.0 Undeliverable Message
I think there is an undeliverable message filter in there
somewhere. In any case, I would base the filter on the subject line
instead of the message body.
