Kim:

I can only help with a few I have on a list who do not answer cards sent
to 
the bureau.
I don't know if a list as such exists - I wouldn't want to be on it 
personally if I were a
QSL manager.

The three call signs I trap here are:

N5AU for VP2E
KZ5RO for many call signs
KB5IPQ for many call signs

They want nothing to do with cards "Via the Bureau".  We've received 
hundreds for each
manager? since October.  I do think they post their policies various 
places.  At least that
is what I was told when I confirmed "Toss Bureau Cards?" with them.

Generally speaking most managers do answer cards via the bureau.  I see
cards
headed toward dozens of 5 land QSL managers.

1990 Qs may find a few guys have "passed on".  One that comes to mind is

W5NO for 4S7NE.
I'm sure there are others but again no official list.
