You cannot define a different processing based on the error type.
Though, when setting the bouncing score, temporary errors (other than 
5.x) get their score divided by two.

The formula for the score is detailed in the reference manual :
http://www.sympa.org/doc/html/node18.html

You should probably lower the levels to 5 or 10 and you should also 
lower the minimum-bouncing-count parameter :

Entries in User table are removed by the "purge_user_table" task (run 
monthly by default) if they have no more subsciption.
