If you are saying that it grows to 5 GB within 15 minutes, then shorten
the time between processing to say 5 minutes by putting

REGISTER_BOUNCES_EVERY = minutes(5)

in mm_cfg.py and restarting mailman. If you are saying that
bounce-events-xxxx.pck is not being processed and cleared every 15
minutes, then there is some other problem. Look in Mailman's error and
bounce logs for clues.

On the other hand, it might be more productive to find out why you are
blocked and try to get the blocks removed, or are you blocked for good
reason?
