Why do you always assume that the issue only refers to bulk mail? I ran once, a few years ago, into an issue where my purely personal messages, to someone I know, who had email hosted on O365, have been just silently discarded by MS. Neither me nor the recipient knew about this, until we figured out something is wrong and managed to contact using another means. (A similar situation is with Gmail putting my messages into Spam folder, which happened to me a few times). So using your (and Microsoft's) logic, the recipient "did not want" that mail, and "didn't care" that she didn't get it, because she didn't complain to MS that she didn't get it. Which was obviously not the case. And she couldn't complain because she didn't know in the first place that I send her that email. It was good that I had a different way of contacting that person. But what if the only contact was email? Let's assume for example that the recipient is you. You are quite a famous person ;), among others because of a few books you wrote. Some of those books contain your e-mail address, so it's quite normal that you can expect e-mails from your readers. Assume I'm a reader who wants to contact you - for example to ask about something I read in your book or just to express my opinion. But my email gets discarded or rejected. You don't know that I wanted to write to you, so you can't even tell whether my e-mail was wanted or not (according to my criteria, an author can never call messages from his readers "unwanted", even if they just hate him). But according to your logic, since you never worried that you didn't get my email (which you didn't know about at all), you didn't want that email.
