They are presumably being disabled by bounce processing, presumably because Your outgoing MTA can't deliver to foreign domains. Check Mailman's bounce, smtp and smtp-failure logs, your MTA logs and the disabled notices sent to the list owner (assuming bounce_notify_owner_on_disable is Yes) for clues as to what the problem is and fix your MTA configuration.

See the script at <http://www.msapiro.net/scripts/reset_bounce.py> for a way to bulk re-enable delivery to bouncing members.

As to how you can "configure mailman globally in order to be more secure", I don't understand what that means.

Can you help with this problem?
