I need to place an icon next to an email address to indicate that the email address is NOT a member of a given mailing list.

This could be abstracted as: What icon best indicates that the entity it is associated with is NOT a member of a given group?

In my case, I'm going to use an envelope icon to indicate that an email address IS a member of a mailing list. But what icon should I use to indicate non-membership?

The complete absence of an icon would probably be most useful when perusing a large table or list. One does not even need to be able to decipher or read the column to know that there is a gap.

A white or similarly highlighted envelope for "in," and grayed out for "out."

The things that come immediately to mind are: envelope with a no entry symbol overlaid; envelope with a green check for "included" and a red X for "excluded"; and green envelope for inclusions and red envelope with a slant mark across it for the exclusions.

Hope that gives you some ideas.
