So, unless I'm missing something, if you use VERP, you should be able to process any bounce from a subscriber.
Is it desirable for mailman to pass on a VERP bounce coming from a held message notification sent to a non subscriber? Would it make sense for mailman if it receives a bounce that is obviously verped and that there is no such member, to just drop it silently (maybe with a log entry)?
