Yes, of course I know why an email bounces and what happens
to it. I administer two mailing lists of my own.

My question (or perhaps suggestion) was that the bounced mail
should not be send to the list members but handled by the
listserver or the list owner. The list owner has means to cope
with bounced addresses (eg. set temporarily NOMAIL). I don't.
And it's really not my business, is it?

Sorry for the intrusion. I am a little bit unaware which
subject are allowed and which are not.
