I believe the folks at Yale have their own custom solution.  It can also be
done by simply stating the policy and then issuing the unsub (or nomail if
you prefer) command when the errors come in.  If you're operating manually,
a more humane approach may be to simply set addresses to INDEX or DIGEST
(we do that on a list I co-own with several others) reducing the errors to
one a day from the errant subscriber(s).

IF the errors aren't transient or the subscriber doesn't get around to
reactivating, a list can accumulate a significant number of invalid
subscribers even with an annual confirm cycle.  Other than that detail,
NOMAIL also accomplishes the original intent.
