OSQA should implement a mechanism to detect email notifications which are bounced. Over time users change emails, mailboxes get full, etc. so we need a system to automatically unsubscribe users whose notifications are bounced.

A nice mechanism is Variable Envelope Return Path (VERP).

That is a great idea. Matt and I actually talked about that a while ago, but haven't done anything regarding that yet :)
