Using bouncer engine as standalone

Hi there,
Mailman has rather impressive bouncer code part and I would like to use it for my CRM process to identify bounces. Can one run the bouncer code as a standalone engine, and what would be the right way to do it? Is it a wise thing to do?
Basically there is a file with all email bounce messages from my customers and as the result I would need a list of all bounced emails addresses.
Bouncer.py needs a mailing list as one of its parameteres. Is it trivial to change the code so that it functions just as a filter for a single file? I do not know that much of Python, so it would take too much time for me to see if it doable in a reasonable time. Should you suggest it is doable, I would spend some time playing around with Python and Mailman code.
Best regards, Egor

This doesn't exactly answer your question, but why not make a list (with all notifications turned off so you don't annoy your customers!), put your addresses into that list and use Bouncer.py with that list as the parameter?
