If the list is active and the user's delivery is enabled, The list's
bounce processing should take care of ultimately removing bouncing
members. If it doesn't, the list's bounce processing needs to be
adjusted.

The dead addresses of concern, are those for which the user or admin
disabled delivery before the address died. We have talked about some
kind of periodic mailing from the list to all members. If we have such
a thing, a bounce of that mail could identify such addresses.
