Please do not reply to a post to start a new thread. This messes up the
archives, and intelligent mail clients that have the ability to thread
messages. Please use the 'new' function of your mail client. If your mail
client doesn't have such a function you really should not be using it.
Also, your question has nothing to do with qmailadmin. It appears to be an
ezmlm question and therefore should go on the ezmlm mailing list.

no, digests are lists that have their content served to the subscriber in one
email with lots of posts, rather than one email for each post.

I assume you mean ezmlm as qmail has no such function to remove bounced emails
from a .qmail file.
If you are referring to ezmlm, you need to read ezmlm's documentation. There,
it states how ezmlm handles messages that bounce. It doesn't just throw you
off the list the first time your message bounces, that would be particularly
rude.
Please see the ezmlm documentation, FAQs for more information. If you're
still stuck, post to the ezmlm mailing list. However, ezmlm's bounce
handling is very well documented, so you likely will not get a response from
the ezmlm mailing list.
