Well, what *we* do is try to avoid having any "open" lists (we run our open
lists as "open,confirm".  Then to automate, you just have the bounce messages
go to a "postmaster" userid that runs a filter that looks for "to confirm your
subscription" messages that bounce because of "user unknown" or "mail;box
full", and on the 3rd or 4th such, just issue a 'QUIET DEL *".
 
I've got this about 75% automated already.. ;)
