5 bounced messages at a rate of one per day, not 5 bounces total, no?

  increment by 0.5.  We only increment the bounce score once per day, so
                     ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  even if we receive ten hard bounces from a member per day, their score
  will increase by only 1 for that day.

That might still be too low if someone is away from their setup for a
week or more.
