This is odd - the default Mailman's behavior is to only turn off
delivery to bouncing addresses after several bounces, not to unsubscribe
them.

This looks to me like Dreamhost customizing their setup to be more
aggressive - I do not recall even seeing an option to automatically
unsubscribe bouncing addresses in default install. However, I have
admined Mailman some 3 years ago last time, so it could have been added
in the meantime. Perhaps there is a scheduled cron job cleaning out the
disabled addresses or your hosting has added something like that? That
would explain the burst - the addresses went dead over a longer time,
but the list was actually purged in one go.

It is definitely weird - I haven't seen this type of problem before.

Regards,

Jan
