When you import a static list, does it automatically add each lead to salesforce?

We want to email a list just once so we really don't want the contents of the list to get into our CRM!

Leads will not be automatically added to SalesForce. Marketo-only leads go to SalesForce only when you use the "Sync to SalesForce" flow action.

However, if anyone on your list is already in SalesForce and their email address matches the email address of someone you import to your static list, Marketo will include that SalesForce lead in your Marketo list rather than create a new Marketo-only lead. This way you can avoid duplicate email addresses in your database.

I'd recommend reading Marketo's documentation before you import: http://community.marketo.com/MarketoArticle?id=kA050000000KzWVCA0

They can also synch if you are adding them to a synched campaign and have a progression change.
