that's gawdawful high.

When I took over admin of  a list server last August, it had 2% to 4% 
bounce rate.  Then I installed ecartis with auto-bounce mgmt and bounes 
hover around 0.5%.

10% bad addresses will drastically slow delivery of good mail.

don't feel proud, your luck is the same as everyone's,

real list servers, like ecartis, mailmain, ezmlm have automatic bounce 
mgmt, no need to add on.
