I assume he turned on bounce reports in the MTA, which I think would be the best solution. As this is very specific to each server setup, I can't offer tips on how others can do it, but if you can share what he did, that would be great.

I'm not sure I understand how altering the Bounce Limit and Bounce Limit Period affect how this hack works. For example, if a user has just a few bounced emails - say 5, I want to deactive their emails right away. I don't understand what the bounce period does.

Here's an example, say you set up:

Bounce limit = 50 emails
Bounce limit period = 7 days

Then only those who reach 50 email bounces within 7 days period will be processed.

You can set it to:

Bounce limit = 1 email
Bounce limit period = 1

This will auto process the user for any bounced email received
