Just an FYI -- anyone who gets an email sent to them to notify about a thread being updated, that they have a new PM, or when I send newsletters... if it bounces back and says the email address is invalid, I installed a script that automatically puts that user in a Bounced Email Address group where they can view the thread and that's about it.
Just wanted to do this because you have to confirm your email address when you register, and if your email starts bouncing because of an invalid email address then it causes unnecessary lag from receiving tons of bounce back emails. The email I just sent to everyone about the Meet & Greet had 42 bounces come back to me, which is a lot of users with invalid email addresses. In most cases, it's users that never view the site anymore so in the long run, people that stay in this Bounced email user group will be pruned from the site.
