I'm doing something similar to update a list of e-mail addresses
that I then use for mutt's query feature.
For the original bounce problem, I'm using a different trick: I
unset the $envelope_from variable, and set a special envelope from
"by hand", i.e., from the $sendmail configuration variable. I
discard any bounces that are directed to my usual e-mail address.
(Also, I don't ever mention the special bounce address on any
mailing lists, and don't put that part of my configuration online.
