Mailinglist Manager

I am still debating what to do with the invalid email addresses. My custom-made database interface  offers the possibility to keep the email addresses within the database while preventing the sending of mails, and I think that is the solution to keep the invalid addresses (they are marked in red now).
A part of my activity within Mouchette.org is preservation so I think it makes sense to keep invalid addresses dating back to 2001. Unfortunately, I have already deleted a great number of these invalid addresses.
Real preservation efforts always go with with a lot of inconsistencies.
What survives survives.

I’m still grateful to Marc Boon who created the database interface and the mailinglist manager it back in 1999.
