No, they should simply return bounces in a format allowing automatic
deletion.

Well, with some 5.x million users what do you expect?

The reason it doesn't happen with CS is that they have yet to respect the
most  basic part  of bounce  delivery: sending  the bounce  to the  right
address.  So, in  a  nutshell,  *you* aren't  getting  the bounces.  This
doesn't mean  they aren't sent, or  that problems aren't present.  AOL at
least sends bounces to the right address.
