I decided to do a little experiment. I sent an email to three of four people in the list. Those email messages bounced. For some reason, Listserv's auto-delete did not prune the list of these subscriptions, even though they have probably been undeliverable for well over a week, which is beyond the probe limit of four days that I have set for auto-delete.
