The evidence suggests this is the case. > But it sounds like you are aware that ESPs do suppress invalid email > addresses, but you believe they should suppress them across their > entire user base. It sounds like I am aware that they claim they are doing so, but that the evidence in spamtraps contradicts the claim. Furthermore, I explicitly indicated that it was the consensus that the GDPR makes it effectively impossible for them to do what you believe I said, which I did not. It has been discussed in so many M3AAWG meetings and between meetings, and Simon McGarr's talk "So you want to be a data controller" was more or less on this subject. I don't know how you have managed to read exactly the opposite of my intentions into my words, I can only conclude that it must have to do with my awkward non-native use of the language because all other explanations seem so futile.
