I see you are @outlook.com. This is an... idiosyncratic provider: they
invent strange rules "to protect you" (in reality rather to protect
their business model). Perhaps they bounce the bounce message (Microsoft
is like that) and then you'll never know your mail got lost.
As things stand I trust the Debian mail admins more than the Outlook
ones to play by the rules [1]. Much, much more.

[1] one basic rule of mail is that, when you've accepted one you
are responsible for it.
Thank tomas!
my experience with mail providers are limited
i won't investigate further (send big mail thru other mail provider) as
this isn't big issue for me and my time/energy is limited
how do you defend debian's vagueness that Large attachments are discouraged?
definition of large might change as network connection and storage
device become cheap. this might seem naive as admin face malicious
attack. there might be other considerations
after all debian list and outlook are free
