Yes.  I coded a way to exclude bouncing addresses, but then never set it up.   
On the one hand, they are not so many, roughly less than 10%.  On the other 
hand, since outgoing reports happen to be as interesting as incoming ones, I CC 
them to my collector.  And sending reports to myself only feels rather 
nonsensical.

I did code a suppression mechanism for bouncing report addresses. aliexpress dmarc 
reports have been bouncing continuously since mid 2020. At least at the moments that we 
tried to send a report. They are now on suppression level "13 weeks", which is 
also the maximum. Which means we'll only try to send a report once every 13 weeks (about 
3 months), and junk all of the rest.

But if we're carping about bouncing dmarc reports, can I give a dishonorable mention to 
[email protected]? They have "only" been bouncing reports since september 
last year, but they receive reports for hundreds of domains.

I have recorded bounces for about 20% of the destinations that we send DMARC reports to. 
7% of the destinations are currently on the active "suppression list" because 
of this.

Oh, and then there are a number of ticket systems or mailinglists behind dmarc 
reporting addresses that usually reply with something like 'Your email to our 
support system could not be accepted". Usually in such a way that it's near 
impossible to get the original destination address out automatically. Whenever I 
have some time, I tend to go through some of those bounces and plonk the 
corresponding domains for a whole year.
