Hello Brano,

I've been thinking about it, and you might be able to do it with a
more complicated script.  I'm not going to write this one now, but
here's the outline:

1. Export all addresses in group to an LDIF file (use delete option as
   well to remove them from TB's address book).
2. Find the bad address from the bounce.
3. Find the corresponding address in the exported file.
4. Delete the LDIF entry.
5. Reimport the LDIF file.

I'm not entirely sure how well step 1 works using a command-line and
groups.  You may need to make a full address book for that list
instead of just a group.

Step 4 may also prove to be somewhat challenging.  I'm not entirely
familiar with the LDIF format.  What I know comes from looking at
examples that TB generates when I export test entries.

One other thing to consider is that you may be removing addresses
prematurely.  It's possible that a server crashed and that the bounces
are only temporary.  If you're running a big list, you might want to
consider some specialized list software.  I know Leif Gregory just
started up a mailing list about managing lists using TB.  Perhaps that
forum might provide you with better answers.  Check out his FAQ at:
