If I can paraphrase what I think you have said; some messages sent to subscribers of the subordinate list bounce and these bounce messages are being returned to the superior list with information indicating they were bounced by the subordinate list's email address.
Yes.
I think you are asking for a means for the superior list to selectively ignore those bounce messages.
Either that, or to intercept the subscription disabling process so that the address is not disabled.
A more pertinent question would be be why is the superior list should/would be seeing those bounce messages.
My thoughts exactly. Occasionally I have had bounce messages sent by other servers back to some address other than the address in the Return-Path: header - some have gone back to the list, some to the list-owner, etc. IOW, something screwy in one of the thousands of servers I send mail to.
If the messages your script chooses to pass down to the subordinate list are simply posted by it to the subordinate list then any bounce from the subordinate list's subscribers should be received by and handled by the subordinate list's bounce processing; and MM doesn't normally tell posters about bounces resulting from distribution of their posts by the list.
Are you certain that the bounce messages do not actually stem from occasional failure of your script to take successful delivery of a message from the superior list?
I grep'd the logs on my server, and couldn't find any entries for the proxy address that didn't have "status=sent" on the line.
