As I remember it, mailman doesn't remove an address from a list immediately as it could be a transient issue. Rather it removes addresses based on a configured number of non-deliverable instances (rejects and bounces) over a definable period of time. How you set those values generally depends on how busy a list is and how dirty the address base seems to be (and how willing you are to get your mail server in trouble with sites that don't like high volumes of bad addresses). I haven't looked at the mailman documentation in some time, but suspect that this is covered there in more detail.
