I realize this, but I would have thought postfix could handle this; it
should see sending emails to given recipients aren't working, and
either remove them from the subscription list, or just give up trying
to send to it temporarily.

I understand this, and I'm a huge supporter of Mailman, but the dude
reckons that majordomo is "better" because it can handle lots of
invalid users. I'm sure this is a problem that's fixable.

Reconfigure postfix, how exactly? I tried increasing the number of
rcpt errors (forget exactly what I tried; this was months ago) allowed
to a stupidly high value, but the error is apparently still occurring.
I told him to clean the subscriber lists, but again, see majordomo
point above :-(
