Unfortunately, that's only partially true.

- if the problem is at the "MTA" side, then it will show again and
again, with many different subscribers. In this case, the MTA operator
should fix the problem. and if this doesn't happen, then he should be
considered as part of the problem: blacklist the operator.

- if the problem is in the user config, then yes, unsubscribing him will
help, until he subscribes again (possibly with a new address).

That said, I agree that the user should be unsusbcribed. But that's not
always easy: the bounce doesn't necessary tell the subscriber (when mail
is forwarded, you get the bounce for the forwarded-to address...). and
VERP doesn't help here since the borked setup sends the bounce to the
From: header. (one solution is to send mail with a "VERP FROM:" header
to detect which one causes the bounce)... sigh!
