When mailfloss finds an invalid email in MailerLite, the **Cleanup** tab decides what happens. You have four options. The setting applies to every list in the connection, and you can change it any time.

Before explaining the four options, make sure you have properly [connected MailerLite](https://docs.mailfloss.com/how-to-connect-mailerlite-to-mailfloss) to mailfloss. You only need to do this once and from then on mailfloss will be able to automatically perform email verifications for the connected MailerLite account.

To choose an option, go to **Integrations**, open your MailerLite integration, and click the **Cleanup** tab:

**Ask me first.** The safest option. mailfloss lists invalid emails in the **Waiting for you** tab, and nothing changes in MailerLite until you decide:

The **Waiting for you** tab appears only when emails are waiting. Select the emails and click **Unsubscribe** or **Update custom fields**. You can also report a wrong status with **Report incorrect**, or dismiss an email with **Ignore**.

**Unsubscribe.** The recommended option. mailfloss unsubscribes the contact from MailerLite and removes it from the lists it belongs to, so it stops receiving campaigns. mailfloss asks you to confirm when you choose it, and a switch under the option can also update the mailfloss fields. You’ll see the contact in MailerLite in red and marked as unsubscribed from receiving emails. You can resubscribe the contact in MailerLite at any time.

**Update a field.** mailfloss writes the verification result to custom fields in MailerLite, so your segments can exclude invalid emails. This is reversible. You can also use the fields to sync with your other databases and CRMs.

**Report only.** mailfloss emails you the results of the latest floss session. Nothing changes in MailerLite. Like a traditional email verification service, it gives you a report of the verification results for the connected MailerLite account and nothing more.
