You could turn the notices to the admin off and run a daily cron to
generate a summary from Mailman's subscribe log. All the bounce
deletes should have entries similar to

Feb 20 10:00:24 2008 (10510) listname: deleted user at example.com;
disabled address

You can also work off the bounce log which will have entries like

Feb 20 10:00:24 2008 (10510) listname: user at example.com disabling due
to bounce score 1.0 >= 1.0
Feb 20 10:00:24 2008 (10510) listname: user at example.com deleted after
exhausting notices
