If one bounces, that handle gets terminated instantly. As a moderator I _really_ disliked trying to clean up a thread that was out of control, fabricate multiple emails with specific message numbers in them, only to have some of them bounce back for invalid emails. on the crafty mailing list, if an email bounces, the user is instantly unsubscribed and has to re-join with a valid email. That would eliminate a _lot_ of moderator frustration here...
