I had a similar problem - bounces were not being sent.  I was using 
"Precedence: bulk" in my list messages, and my sendmail was setting 
messages with "Precedence: bulk" to a negative priority.

Because of the negative priority, my sendmail was ignoring all bounced 
messages.  I bumped the priority up to zero and then it started sending
bounce messages.

(note: I am using an older version of sendmail)
