And it still explicitly says that construct is legal:
rfc5322:3.4
... This is done by giving a display name for the group,
followed by a colon, followed by a comma-separated list of any number
of mailboxes (including zero and one), and ending with a semicolon.
Because the list of mailboxes can be empty, using the group construct
is also a simple way to communicate to recipients that the message
was sent to one or more named sets of recipients, without actually
providing the individual mailbox address for any of those recipients.
Anybody can block mail for any reason they want ("my server, my rules"). But if
they claim to do so with RFC justification for this case, then they're playing
in the realm of "Alternative Facts"
