Exim can be made to do just about anything codable, but a chron'ed MySQL script tool would be simpler than anything in PHP, as it is not html pages you want to create, but simple DB pruning. That can run against the account in which the bounces arrive - need not otherwise have any link to Exim. But you are starting to reinvent Ecartis, MailMan, or other MLM of your choice - as one 'challenge' solved just leads to the next. MLM have very good and highly configurable handling of permanent/temporarily unavailable addresses, (full mailbox, vacation, 4th bounce in 14 days, else reset, etc.) - plus satisfying the often legally-mandated list identification and unsubscribe stuff. Way easier and more secure to install and configure an MLM, even for a small newsletter, than to learn to craft bespoke code - php or otherwise, to duplicate functions they already have.
