See my MAILTPL.   The point is, that I address the message
specifically to locate those _rare_ cases where the assumption you
made above, and thus the removal are in error.
It is addressed to answer the specific problem that was described by
Mike Furbee,  which I replied.

When owners remove address due to bounces which claim to be
permanent, without waiting a few days. In many cases the problem is
temporary but, due to the fact that the removal was immediate, the
message informing about the removal is bounced because it was posted
before the temporary problem is solved.
