I unsubscribe those people on sight. If these people can't handle messages
posted to the list (or use an Email of an organization that can't handle
it), they don't need to be on the list.
On a good day, some sites still send bounces where they're supposed to go,
the envelope sender, so of course, that's the listmaster, which means my
mailbox.
I'm not going to deal with an increasing number of bounces from political
correct people.
If they want to protect their fragile little eyes and minds, they can junk
the mail, or at least not bounce mail from mailing lists.
