What exactly is meant by "monitored". If passive probing is disabled (see
below), a max(2) setting will unsubscribe an invalid address IF there is at
least 2 list distributions within 20 days? In other words, given the below
example, if the list only goes out once every 30 days, bad addresses will
not be unsubscribed correct?

 Auto-Delete= Yes,Semi-Auto,Delay(20),Max(2),Probe(0)

If a permanent error is received, that user will be monitored for 20
days. If after 20 days there are no more errors, they are removed from
monitoring. If they error again within the 20 days, they will be removed
and you will be notified. With Probe (5) 1/5 of the subscribers will be
probed with each message sent. At this rate all users will have been
probed after about 5-6 weeks.  Depending on your needs, you can adjust
all this accordingly.
