"a ton of bonces" is relative.  For a list with 100 subs, 500 errors per
day is "a ton" (though most will probably have been generated by the same
site). For a list with multiple thousands of subscribers 500 per 24 hours
is just business as usual.  One starts getting a little frayed around the
edges when it jumps to 1000 - 1500 per day.
 
Just one of the joys of trying to run a list.  It's work.
