It's the failto attribute in the cfmail tag. You get different types of bounces - soft and hard. Soft bounces could be temporary, hard bounces permanent. So you could have some code checking the bounces to see which are hard and removing them only.

I mean, seperate from the "From" field. Is there a setting that allows for a "Bounced" field or something?
