Good luck, lots of big mail systems are designed to make it very hard to
scan for actual user names (spammers like that) so you are more likely to
end up blacklisted than get answers.

Perhaps instead of sending a 100K quarterly newsletter you need to send a
short 'list cleaning, you must click to continue receiving under new
ownership' mail ? and set up a web page for it.

Chances are that'll somewhat shrink your list and save you a lot more
effort as it'll filter the people who forgot about it or whose mail
systems are blackholing your mail not bouncing it (which is increasingly
common)
