Don't include that (also starting every paragraph with [RS] is annoying;
and your email server is in a rspamd uribl bl.rspamd.com - what's going
on there, someone sending spam like crazy?)

You have to run autoremove to remove old kernels, yes. Until you use apt

use that.
You need to be careful running autoremove, though, so it's not
something you can run automatically.
