It only indicates that the email the fp.o alias points to is not valid the
question being is this a definite state or just a hick up of the mail server.

The only way would be to manage to contact the person by another way (other
email or other mean) to ask them, but that's not an easy thing to do.
The account can then be marked as inactive in FAS (we do not delete accounts).

There is no automated way to do them and to there are a number of case where I
am not sure we would like to.
I do not see the harm in keeping old user pages.
Outdated content can be updated/adjusted as needed, being old isn't a valid
reason to delete a page though (imho).

Just my thoughts :)
