The probe consists of an attempt to send about fifteen messages through the
server to a test host. These messages are spaced over a twenty minute
period. If the server is properly configured, the data (message body) is
never even accepted, so the load is miniscule to say the least. The test is
repeated after about a four-day interval. A minimum of six months elapses
before a retest.

Not hardly. If those tests could overload anyone's server, it shouldn't be
on the net to begin with.
