What happens if the warning message bounces?

If delivery is disabled, clearly there won't be bounces.  If a 
subscriber takes the trouble to re-enable delivery, why would you want 
to count the preceding bounces against that user in the bounce rules?

A shell hook runs a program or script that you write that is specific to 
your needs.
There aren't any restrictions on what programming language the program 
uses, nor upon what it does, so there's no way I could provide an 
example for you to follow.
