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.
