We have a site which has multiple 301 redirects in place for pages which once existed on their own but are now redirected elsewhere using the redirect module.

These original pages no longer exist in the CMS or are unpublished.

The generated XML sitemap retains these now redirected links in the sitemap.xml file generated. An external SEO agency has instructed the client that this is bad practice and the XML sitemap entries which are 301 redirects need to be removed.

Does anyone have any ideas on how I could omit these?

Thanks,
Gary

I've provided an integration with Redirect. So you can easily skip the nodes/pages which are 301 redirected.

The patch in #4 to xmlsitemap.admin.inc and xmlsitemap.generate.inc does does not apply to the latest xmlsitemap 7.x-2.x-dev and if still applicable needs a reroll.

Checking patch xmlsitemap.admin.inc...
Hunk #1 succeeded at 314 (offset 1 line).
error: while searching for:
  //  '#type' => 'value',
  //  '#value' => $node->xmlsitemap['changecount'],
  // );
  // @codingStandardsIgnoreEnd 
  // Add the submit handler to adjust the default values if selected.
  $form += array('#submit' => array());
  if (!in_array('xmlsitemap_process_form_link_options', $form['#submit'])) {

Thanks for the patch.
I've tried it and it works, but redirect_fetch_rids_by_path has the third argument which controls if the disabled redirects are returned or not.
By default it returns disabled redirects too.
Updated patch to exclude the disabled ones. This also has the performance impact as the status column is the part of the index.
