Isn't this the typical way a normal mailinglist gets
spamfiltered worldwide (i.e by razor) ?

Somebody gets an account, subscribes, goes away,
his vanity-forward expires, postmaster finds the bounces,
and makes the account into a spamtrap.
And voila ...  all those lists are razored ...

So please make sure you do not kill/spamtrap Lists
subscribed by the 'gone-users' :-)

Stucki   (postmaster at math.fu-berlin.de, who found lots of lists
          subscribed by 'gone users' / so no spamtrap so far).
