Are you sure that it was Sendgrid that blocked the message ? Looks to me as if ab...@sendgrid.com is hosted at gmail and it was *gmail* that objected to the content ...

Or am I misunderstanding something ?

No, of course you're right.

But forwarding an abuse address that is somewhat expected to receive problematic content to a service that tries to keep such content out of their users' mailboxes doesn't really look very professional, and even if it isn't technically Sendgrid who perform the filtering this approach has the effect of putting a content filter on the abuse mailbox.


Actually Sendgrid uses a double filtering: the first line of the error report you got ("The original message was received at Fri, 22 Jan 2021 05:45:50 -0800 from m0099904.ppops.net [127.0.0.1]") means that the mail has been received and processed by Proofpoint, that forwards it to Gmail.
