Actually, it won't.  With the Probe setting, it should only result in the
removal of addresses that bounce.  From the documentation:

"The "Probe" parameter, introduced in Version 1.8c (but disabled in
LISTSERV Lite) activates LISTSERV's "active probing" bounce processing
feature, whereby the users are "probed" regularly using the PROBE1 mail
template. The desired response from the user is to discard the message and
do nothing. If the probe bounces, LISTSERV first sends the PROBE2 template
with a copy of the bounce (assuming that the address actually works
regardless of the bounce), and then schedules a new probe for the next day
or deletes the user immediately, depending on the list's "Auto-Delete="
policy. For more information, see the List Owner's Manual."
