A mailing list that looks after itself
Once someone's access ends, they stop getting your emails. The same day.
How it is now
You send a monthly email to a group that includes people without a valid subscription. Avoiding that means comparing two lists every day. And every day reminding yourself that someone canceled.
Step by step
What happens, in order
Who has access today
The current list of people with a valid subscription, straight from the platform.

Address by address, ignoring capital letters and stray spaces.
Expired access
People whose subscription has ended but who are still on the list.
Removal from the group
They leave the list. You send them nothing more.
