What I've been wondering for a while is the span of time over which
the bounces are counted. I can understand shutting a subscriber off
for getting 10 bounces in as many minutes. On the other hand if those
10 bounces are spread over two months, it seems rather severe.
I agree. Seems like it's fixable:

Looks like you can play with the bounce score threshold and bounce score
reset interval.
Wonder what the default is?

The best thing to do is analyze the logs and calculate the best intervals,
adjust to suit. You can change for example to stretch each bounce to take
longer each time. There are also ways to turn off bouncing selectively, or
respond dynamically based on how the receiving end reacts to the bounce. I
have found watching for a few days works.
