Ron, in this specific case, I'd suggest just blowing away all the bounce
info associated with the list.  You'll lose any existing information for
bouncing members, but who cares?  You'll just start building up that
information again as you go.

Just load the list into withlist (locked) and set mlist.bounce_info = {}
(i.e. an empty dict), and then save the mlist.  That's untested, but it
should do the trick.
