Summary: recognize bounces from old users

Initial Comment:
It would be nice if mailman kept track of ex-users on a
mailing list.  Then when a bounce comes in for such a
person, it could be discarded instead of being
`unrecognized'.

That is, when an address goes bad, there's typically a
delay (of five days, for example) before an actual
bounce is received.  In the interim, only warning
messages will be received.  On an active mailing list,
there could be a lot of messages in those fives, all of
which will (eventually) bounce.

After either mailman auto-unsubscribes the user, or the
admin manually does it, all those queued bounces become
`unrecognized', causing additional (not useful) mail to
the admin.

(I'm using mailman 2.1.2 under Linux.)

Thanks,
