If I understand what you want, I believe you change:

         if mlist.getDeliveryStatus(member) == MemberAdaptor.BYBOUNCE:
             mlist.setDeliveryStatus(member, MemberAdaptor.ENABLED)
             count += 1
by removing the "if" line and un-indenting the next two lines.  This will
set all addresses in the domain to ENABLED.  But, I believe, this will no do
exactly what you want, because you are not resetting the bounce score.
If a yahoo.com subscriber has a bounce score of 4, then setting

      MemberAdaptor,ENABLED

will be resetting the value to what it already is, and the next bounce
will (if the bounce score trigger is the default 5.0) will set BYBOUNCE.
I have not looked at the code to see if setting ENABLED also resets
the bounce score back to 0.
