Summary: separate auto-disable and "nomail" flags

Initial Comment:
Currently, Mailman will disable email to accounts (say,
because they bounced too many times) by setting the
"nomail" option. *However*, that option is also used by
users. As a result, I have no way to determine which
subscriptions are old/invalid, and which correspond to
actual users.

It would be nice to record disabling as a separate
field... say, as the date the account was disabled.
Then, I could periodically find all accounts which were
disabled more than a year ago and simply delete them.

Thus, users who temporarily disable mail delivery will
not accidentally have their subscriptions purged :-)
