Merci. Mail to that address has been bouncing for weeks.

First bounce and you're out is maybe a bit drastic given the current   
reliability (;-) of most mail systems. Is there any way you can count the   
bounces? Or better, the number of days on which bounces occur. Ten   
bounces on a busy day is probably nothing but three days running should   
get you whacked.
