[Mailman-Users] Manually marking users as bouncing/bad addresses?

[NOW Website Coordinator]

My problem is all the ones that Mailman *isn't* knocking off the list, but 
sending to me as an uncaught bounce notification, or even it's not even 
going through mailman and just coming right to the list owner.

Can I get them to be marked as bad, so that Mailman will then disable them 
and then write it to the log.  If I just unsubscribe them, there's no way 
to tell that it was because the addresses were bad.
