You can ignore bounced bounces, rather than freezing them.

Why keep bounced bounces around for even 2 days? Do you even look at
them? If not there is no need to keep them, just use
"ignore_errmsg_errors". They are hard errors, and retries won't change
that. You should only freeze them unless you intend to examine them.
