You need to do more than that. You need to increase the days and decrease
the number of bounces (yours was set to 100).

I have a newsletter list which gets a posting every two weeks. This is my
auto-delete line:

   * Auto-Delete=  Yes,Semi-Auto,Delay(21),Max(1)

This effectively says that if a particular address bounces two issues in
a row of my newsletter, they'll be deleted. I could have gotten the same
effect using 14 days, but I decided to make it three weeks to account for
really slow systems and the like.

HTH...
