You can do exactly this with SmartBounce -- it allows you to create an ".ignored" list, and specify address(es) that are to be ignored (i.e., if any of them bounces, it will not be processed as a bounce, but will be, well, *ignored*), and under what circumstances it should be ignored (options are: hard bounce, soft bounce, unsubscribe, and/or redirected address). This is a new feature in Version 5; it is not yet documented on the Web site, though it *is* available right now (and documented, though barely) in the current public beta, which is available on the Web site.
