Silently deleting other people's e-mail should never even be considered.
Unless that email is a virus, or a spam with a forged envelope sender.
No, in that case you 550 the sucker.
Unfortunately there is plenty of mailing list manager software that will disable your subscription if your mail is rejected enough times. Mailman being a good example. I have been unsubbed from mailman lists that have allowed viruses through, even with the default mailman settings for boucne processing. In a perfect world, no mailing lists distribute spam, viruses and malware. At the moment therefore while practicing reject after DATA I do find it necessary to mark as spam and accept if it has Precedence: bulk (or list or whatever), because otherwise my users complain and "don't subscribe to poorly-managed lists then" is not an acceptable answer for them.
