I think it's a bit overboard to take action after one single bounced email.
_Everyone_ bounces some emails from time to time.  It would be extremely
annoying to have to re-subscribe to a bunch of stuff just because of a couple
randomly-bounced emails.   I think a better solution is that if an email
bounces, to send out another email to that address.  If the second email bounces
also, then action can be taken.
