I guess this is really a bug. It is cron/disabled doing the
unsubscribing.
Apparently, back in 2005, everyone bounced once and got a score of 1.0,
probably due to some MTA issue. This bounce info is now stale, but
stale info is not discarded until a subsequent bounce is received -
none were received, so no info was reset, or if a bounce was received
more recently, the old info was discarded and replaced with new info,
still with score = 1.0. So everyone on the list except recent members
who never bounced has a score of 1.0.
Then you set the threshold to 1.0 and triggered the code in
cron/disabled which is there for just this case.
The comment in the code is
# Find all the members who are currently bouncing and see if
# they've reached the disable threshold but haven't yet been
# disabled. This is a sweep through the membership catching
# situations where they've bounced a bunch, then the list admin
# lowered the threshold, but we haven't (yet) seen more bounces
# from the member. Note: we won't worry about stale information
# or anything else since the normal bounce processing code will
# handle that.
In your case, the last sentence is the gotcha. It looks like we need to
fix that.
