Since the address does not exists, the email get's bounced as being undeliverable.

It's just the same as with birthday email's or thread subscribtions, emails are getting bounced.

Depending on the bounce reason stated in the bounced mail, I can then choose to have users account adjusted, which your hack does, or get users account deleted which was my suggestion.

Use the option to move the members into a special user group (e.g., "Inactive"). You can then periodically prune that group.

I wouldn't want to see accounts deleted in any automatic or easily mis-clicked way. The current options are much safer.
