Bouncing is highly unusual for cloud based mail systems as it is now an ineffective method for spam systems to remove obsolete emails, and malicious spammers can use this to clean up their databases by purging the bounced emails, or trolling for valid email accounts. It can also be used as a distributed denial of service mechanism. Newer mail systems will just drop the email unless otherwise configured. Exchange defaults to bouncing.
