At the point the mail server declares the message spam and rejects it,
it has almost certainly not accessing anything related to any of your
user contacts.

This is purely some poorly defined generic spam detect software, that
may simply be detecting via I have seen too many messages from this
address recently, or some other such poorly though out setup that
would break on most mailing list based on number of subscribed users
on their mail servers and/or based on recent list volume.

I know spam filtering has been going on for a long time and so far the
filtering still seems to have a decent declare normal messages spam,
and declare spam as ok.   Google used to claim to us AI for spam
filtering and after years of training/"improving" that filtering it
still mis-detects obvious non-spam as spam and fails-to-detect obvious
spam.  Given this is a simple used of AI and still is pretty
unreliable I don't have a lot of hope for AI/AGI being anywhere close
to reliable any time soon.
