You've got:

>      Renewal= 6-monthly,Delay(14)

This means that any subscription that's been inactive for six months
will be asked if they want to remain on the mailing list.  If they
don't respond in fourteen days they're removed.  Whether or not the
address bounces or not isn't relevent to this (except of course that
if the renewal request bounces then the subscriber won't get it and
so won't renew their subscription).
