Bounces are not stored in the changelog table, AUTO-DELETES are stored in
the changelog table.  If you're runing an adhoc list distribution (based on
a non-Listserv table) as oppose to a distribution to a Listserv maintained
list (an actual Listserv list), you cannot re-direct bounces to a table.
You must (if you need to somehow capture the bounces from a given distribute
job) write the bounces to a file and/or send to an email account.  If the
list you're planing on distributing to is a Listserv maintained list, you
should be able to re-direct the bounces back to the list and let the
AUTO-DELETE list keyword handle the deletes.

example of how to redirect back to LISTSERV list:

//LISTNAME_MAILING JOB ECHO= YES
// DISTRIBUTE MAIL-MERGE DBMS=LIST(LISTNAME) PW=xxxxxx ,
[log in to unmask]
//TO DD "1=1"
//DATA DD *
Date: &*DATE;

example of how to configure AUTO-DELETE to delete on the first occurance of
a bounce:

Auto-Delete= Yes,Full-Auto,MAX(1),DELAY(0)
