The possible solutions that occur to me are three:
- Whack GMail over the collective head with a blunt instrument until it behaves itself (good luck on that)
- Have the list mailer check for key phrases in bounce messages and ignore them if they're found
- Increase the list mailer's bounce tolerance to 5-10 messages, and have affected users use a filter to auto-trash the messages unread.
I'm pretty sure I've been unsubscribed without noticing (because I do auto-trash the "threat messages") at least once--that would have been around April 1 of last year.
- Use a different mail list backend.
Do you know of any that specifically work around Google's overzealous filters? If not, I doubt it would help--unsubscribing dead accounts is a reasonable thing for ML software to do, and checking whether or not messages to the account bounce is an easy way to do it . . .
