Yes.  This will work.  Some bounces are labeled as M_... for obscure reasons,
but most bounces are B_.... and you can safely move them out to process later.

Note that a faster way to do this is simply to stop LISTSERV (and LSMTP) and
rename the directory, (and be sure to create a new SPOOL dir of the correct
name).
