Subscribers will be unsubscribed if a there the number of bounces exceeds
a certain threshold. The bounce filter is not able to distinguish between
"real" bounces and false bounces such caused by sender address forgery
by viruses and spam. As you can imagine due the massive abuse of email
by spam and viruses this is going to cause problems ... For now I've
double the number of bounces before a user gets unsubscribed.
