sounds like you need a dedicated list server.

Get yourself a list server with bounce management, set it to remove the
list member from the list after one or two bounces. Killing the mailbox
in Imail will cause the list server to get a 5xx bounce for unknown user
and the list manager will delete the list member automatically.

with bounce mgt, there�s nothing to do.
