See http://pobox.com/~djb/docs/somebounces.html for a study of the
bounces on one mailing list.
I've never seen ezmlm eliminate an address that I would have kept. Human
list managers tend to do much worse than ezmlm:
(1) they kick subscribers off the list without any warning;
(2) even when they provide warnings, they don't wait long enough for
configuration problems to be fixed.
ezmlm takes a while to eliminate a bad address, occasionally as long as
a month, but it can afford to be patient.
