we use a mediawiki installation for internal use only with ldap authorization.

Recently I started receiving messages about the failed delivery of notifications about page changes to email addresses/users that no longer exist (alumni).

Is there a way to edit the list of watchers for a page and remove the email address?

You can remove the email address from the MySQL table.

The table is (nominally, unless you gave it another prefix upon installation) "mw_user" and the field is "user_email". Simply set the text in that field to an empty string. You can also change their user name here, but don't mess with the other fields.
