Sounds like it might be time to reconsider your mailing list config.  A decade
ago, bandwidth was really expensive and it made sense to try to load up lots
of recipients per delivery.  These days it's essentially free, and any saving
in bandwidth is swamped by the extra manual effort of having to do bounce
management by hand.

Mailman's bounce parser is clever enough that there's no manualarity.

AOL's ARF redaction also causes problems identifying problem .forwarders.
I don't understand what they are trying to defend against.
