The bounces have to go somewhere. Perhaps you should remove the offending
addresses from the mailing list?
I have Procmail dump list-owner mail into a separate spool file which I
read with my newsreader once a week. I delete every address with more than
a few bounces. This way the mail doesn't annoy me and I don't spend a lot
of time dealing with bounces. After merciless list pruning I get about
ten bounces a day from the 2000 subscribers to my various lists and I only
spend about 15 minutes a week on bounce processing.
