I've installed an email validater for new user registration. But I want to delete an invalid e-mail from registered users because when I send newsletters to my all users, my mail server will create too many error logs and it wasted my cpu usage and progess time by sending too much emails to all those invalid mailboxes.

If there's anyway to do this, please tellme. Thanks in advance. :)

There's no way to check to see if an email is valid except by sending them an email to see if you get an error with the email bouncing back to you. You should be able to see who the culprit is though when this happens. You can search and remove them.

Or just do a search for all inactive users (Admin > Members > Search For Members and search by members that haven't logged in for a while to remove them. There is no way to remove just their email addresses since they must have one on file. That should remove a bunch of invalid email addresses. Other than that, you can make a annoucement topic on the forum asking everyone to verify that their email addresses in their profile are correct.
