I would assume to close all lists that not had any mail since the last 2023 'are you alive' ping is save. That is close to 2 years.

Is our mailing list mail server able to generate more graceful bounce mails that contain some generic contact info like 'head to kde.org/xyz...' for people that try some non-existing address?
