Although they rarely talk about it, every ESP has a suppression list they apply to their outgoing mail. Partly it's to avoid complaints, partly it's so if a customer tries to mail to suppressed addresses, they know they have a problem customer. It's often called a pander file, by analogy to a US post office rule. See my comment at the end of this blog post: https://wordtothewise.com/2016/09/global-suppression-lists/ Also remember that the legal rule nearly everywhere outside the US is opt-in for bulk mail, so everyone is on the "do not spam" list.
