Dead e-mails are a pain to deal with.

It would be great if e-mail notifications were verified, regardless of
registering online or in person.  If an e-mail address is entered by staff,
Koha should have a flag to indicate if the address has been verified.  When an
account is saved or updated, it should check if an e-mail address has been
entered.  If so, if it has not been verified, it should send a verification
e-mail to the address.  When the patron receives it, they should have to click
something or login to complete the verification.  The address is marked in
their account as verified.  If the address is changed at all, they have to
re-verify.

Staff who receive notice that the e-mail has problems (dead, full, etc) should
have a flag they can set on the account to mark the address as bad, and the
reason why.  The patron would then have to supply a new e-mail address and
verify again.  While the account is flagged with a bad e-mail, notifications to
that address should be turned off.  If they have another form of notification,
Koha could send them a notification that the e-mail address they supplied is no
longer working, and needs to be corrected.
