I don't think you're understanding what I'm saying.
It's not clear at all that this is going to solve anything.
Everyone knows what the bad addresses are -- I and everyone else who
posts to the lists gets those bounce messages. And most likely the
list owners/managers do as well. The point is, just knowing the bad
addresses doesn't necessarily help. The people whose bad addresses
those are may be subscribed with totally different addresses. So it
may be difficult or impossible to figure out from those bad addresses
the corresponding subscribed addresses to remove from the list so that
those bounces will stop.
For example, suppose [EMAIL PROTECTED] is subcribed to the list. But because of
address changes/canonicalization/forwarding/relaying/whatever, the
actual receiving address is [EMAIL PROTECTED] Now suppose that mail to that
address bounces for some reason or other. When that bounce comes in
saying [EMAIL PROTECTED] is a bad address, how are you going to know to remove
[EMAIL PROTECTED]?
