I have an email list that was last used in 2016, about 450 entries. I eliminated about 50 that I know would not be current, but I have no idea about most of the remaining. Can I use it? Do I dare use it?

Hello @NancyM77 ,

 

It's your prerogative, and how you understand your audience. If you're particularly concerned, you can turn on advanced contact permissions for your account, and send a reconfirm opt-in email to those contacts. This would still be held to the free trial limits of 100 maximum sendouts, so you may need to upgrade to a paid plan to do your whole list.
