cUrl error in statistics module

[zabinetta]

there is some strange behavior with dead external links in the statistic module.
My newsletter-editor managed to send two links in a newsletter that now can't be opened by cUrl (one was a complicated link from a partner website, the second an intranet-link; not really nice but sometimes editors are like this). When she wanted to see the click statistics she got the following error message:
Core: Exception handler (WEB): Uncaught TYPO3 Exception: cURL error 28: Operation timed out after 10000 milliseconds with 0 out of 0 bytes received (see https://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/libcurl-errors.html) for https://www.somedomain.de/index.php?object=tx,3434.6&ModID=7&FID=3434.5472.1 | GuzzleHttp\Exception\ConnectException thrown in file /html/typo3-22/typo3_src-11.5.40/vendor/guzzlehttp/guzzle/src/Handler/CurlFactory.php in line 275. Requested URL: https://mywebsite.de/typo3/module/DirectMailNavFrame/Statistics?token=--AnonymizedToken--&id=423&sys_dmail_uid=384&cmd=stats&SET%5Bdmail_mode%5D=direct

The statistics-module worked again after I deleted the mail-log relations with these links.
Is it really necessary to have a look at the clicked links with cUrl inside the statistic module?
