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

Before explaining the five options, make sure you have properly [connected Ontraport](https://docs.mailfloss.com/how-to-connect-ontraport-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 Ontraport account.

To choose an option, go to **Integrations**, open your Ontraport 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 Ontraport until you decide:

The **Waiting for you** tab appears only when emails are waiting. Select the emails and click **Unsubscribe**, **Delete**, 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 Ontraport, 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 can resubscribe the contact in Ontraport at any time.

**Delete from Ontraport.** Removes the contact for good, so you won’t find it in Ontraport anymore. Before Delete turns on, mailfloss shows what your last run would have deleted and asks you to type the account name to confirm.

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

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