Yes, this is a standard feature.
The list should be created and you should define a external source of
data for subscribers. This source can be fetched by many various method
: a local file, a remote text/plain http ressource, ldap, sql etc. You
can use deffernt sources on the same list. Updates are performed
automatically  and controled by a TTL list parameter.

Sympa will manage bounces of all subscribers (you will be able to list
all wrong email adresses on the administration web page) but for
subscribers coming from some external source, of course, there is no
automatic unsubscription.
